Demarcation Diaries

28 August 2001

The day began at 4:00 in the morning. The initial sadness of being awaken for my watch turn so early (how it reminded me of my night shifts at hospitals!) was replaced by such a good feeling at the moment I looked up at the sky - so beautiful that I won't even try to describe it. Lots of stars, and with the climax of the sunrise.

Also worth mentioning the company of good friend Agnaldo from the Amazon, who also writes for rock fanzines (in his case, punk rock; in mine, progressive rock - talked about Pink Floyd, the punk of progressive rock!).

After watch, lots of hours sorting out medications and medical supplies for the expedition, in fact, probably the majority will not be used at all (I hope!), but the idea is to be prepared for accidents that may happen, like snake bites and others. And working while listening to good progressive rock
(Tempano, Par Lindh Project, etc) is always good. And now my first update, which will be followed by an entire (I hope again!) night of sleep - but I want to watch the sunrise again. Let's see...
