Oh Boy! I have just met Carlos, my Rotarian host, and am as excited as can be! I decided to come to Iquitos totally out of the blue as I received an e-mail inquiry about stoves for the Amazon, and here I am.

Tomorrow I will meet with the director of the environmental organization in the morning and then have a driver and moto-taxi to take me around Iquitos to see the market and the zoo. There is a Rotary meeting starting at 9pm and I'll be showing the video that Tom took of the stove recipients in Guatemala, and then we'll try to figure out how to design a stove appropriate for grilling fish.

This club has done many projects with the six villages near Heliconia Lodge, so the following day I'll be staying there and visiting the local villages to investigate local cooking practices.

I can hardly wait!
