27/08: Email tangent..
Lifted from an email I wrote.. WTF is up with this?
Since then I took a trip into the heart of the Peruvian jungle searching for a rumored relic the Company wanted to obtain. It was initially fun, and when my guide Explosivo and I headed out on an old batter jeep it was supposed to be an in and out operation. After the first few days of Explosivo talking non stop about his love with ''boom boom" it was beginning to gripe on my teet. Then we hit a fairly rough patch of natives up a mountain pass after blatantly ignoring the freshly carved statues to what appear to be ancient mayan gods (hey the instruction book put together by the team back at home office said to!). It seems the incessant prattle of Explosivo regarding his 'two favorite things: boom and boom, and you put them together to make boom-boom' was really pissing off the locals. I found him dead in the truck one morning by what appeared to be stab wounds from a snake. Odd. With my guide dead, the natives on my tail, I hiked it back to the extraction point empty handed. I think we carpet bombed the area and sent a team in to mop up afterwords. I hope we got our relic.
