The Trip to the Interior of Guyana
This Blog is to show others, if you're interested, and ourselves for future viewing.
We made an 8 day trip into the Hinterland of Guyana to Visit 9 villages of indigenous people ( Amerindians) who live here and have done so for many many years. They are such great people and we took a big truck load of goods, tools, bicycles, and sewing machines. We only wish it were possible to have taken much much more to them and to the many other villages.
We left Georgetown in a Toyota Bus/van and traveled 350 miles ( on a dirt road ) leaving at 9:00 pm and arriving in Lethem at 10:30 the next morning. After arriving in Lethem, we had a large truck loaded with the goods and items, and we followed in an old Toyota Forerunner.
We traveled with two other persons from here, that we knew and had planned this trip with.
They both are natives of Guyana and are into the helping and humanitarian work for their countrymen.. Great people. We then left the town of Lethem which is on the Brazil border and then traveled many miles to each village with our big truck and the Toyota we were in. The following pictures will show, hopefully, the neat people and how they live and the country they live in.. The Savanna where they live is much different than here in Georgetown, as the pictures will show. We learned more about Anthropology, Geology, Nature in general, and Culture, than we thought possible. We saw great results from the visits and learned compassion for a great race of people. They live in very meager circumstances, and have such a humble attitude, that we can all learn from them. This blog is a bit long, but tells a good story, and it is for our memories,,, so we don't forget these experiences that have changed our lives. Hope whoever chooses to read this blog, will have compassion for others who are less fortunate....

A Guyana prize for the winner/winners!!!
Months ago we had a contest for anyone who reads our blog. This was about a natural wonder in Grenada, and ONLY two people responded to our "eggplant picture" so they will get a prize.. We are wondering if people even see our blog, so we are having another 'natural phenomenon' contest.
Who can identify this item in these two pictures, they are the same, will receive a prize from Guyana. You have until Dec. 5th to email the correct answer... What is the name or function of this Guyana 'natural wonder'?
Good luck,,, this is hard!!!

Came to a river and I could'nt get across!!
Pix # 1 Our Truck made it across the river and sent the unloading guys back over with a strap to help us with the 55 gallon drum barge, for our Forerunner. Before it rained we came across just fine the other direction.
Pix # 2 Our truck half way across, good old English trucks...
Pix # 3 We had to get theToyota on the Barrel barge.
Pix # 4 Our Toyota half way across,, notice the guys holding it and towing it by an old strap,
so it would not float down stream and be gone.. These guys are incredible and do this all of the time..
