The Blythlyway in Guyana

Tuesday, February 20, 2007



Miriam and I slept in the open air shelter under the rainbow. The primary school is the other building in the picture. Sand Hill on the Demera River is a dock and a big sand hill upon which there is a church, a school, and a few other structures. The sand is white and goes on forever all around. It feels like you are near the ocean but instead you are surrounded by bush. Little foot paths crisscross everywhere from house to hut, to the river, down a sand road, and into a little black water stream where the locals get their water and bath. The bathing glade is serene and everyday a dip in its waters was renewing.
