Tena was not what I expected, yet fun all the same. Rebecca´s house was not actually in Tena, so really I should say Archidona -- a small town (although large after Las Tolas) ten minutes in car away from Tena. Most interesting to see was how extremely dry it was. We were in "the jungle" and yet everything was dusty. All of the rivers we went to were at least 10 feet below normal, and this at the end of the rainy season. Rebecca and especially her father were very shocked and I think a little worried. When water costs more than gasoline you know something isn´t right...
