More Fabio updates

Well, Fabio replied to my email seeking details of his trip. Here´s his email response:

yeah for me it was an adventure proper, but for the waorani its a timeless slice out of the jungle. i was superiorly impressed with the buff bods of the waorani, so strong and good spirited, laughing and joking constantly with each other, like in the smear monkey grease in each others faces game that almost rocked the canoe over, we charged out from tiguino, after a ride out there fraught with problems had to stay at a motle cause a bridge busted loose in the middle of the night, and we had a little car accident also when a huge petrolem truck ran us off the road, big oil strikes again! we went by canoe 2 days and came to Boanamo right in the middle of the tageri land, we found their tacks in a few spots. the craziest old man ever lives there, they claim he is 70 but hes got the body of a college football player, he was the boss, and i was invisible to him, really he never ever looked at me although i was looking at him constantly, only after i started making obnoxously loud monkey noises and dancing around did he look and laugh. We ate monkey parts with the fur and hands still on, and the waorani sucking meat off skulls, too close to home. went hunting with blow guns, naked mud fights, i was naked the whole time almost until we got back, even more than them ha! we also broke into loggers camps and messed with their stuff and stole their food. i watched a baby get axed in the forehead and survive somehow. slept on the hard ground with only a blanket of mosquitos, yeah pretty adventurous, but could have been way more so, lots of room for craziness ou their. I got lots of good film and hope to make a good production, mainly about the illegal lloggers but i will make sure to tie in ITT prominently. those people are ready to die always it feels, and have a good long laugh about everything all day, very cute and scary too. i loved it. Thanx so much for your help in getting me out there, i think of you in your office in Puyo, cool place to be. it nice to here from you, i send love.
