If you haven’t been stranded
in a boat on a crocodile-infested
river, you have never really lived.
That’s the way seven members
of Programa de Educacion Inter-
americana feel about a 28-day
trip to South America.
Four different tour groups
are reassembled at Texas A&M
University for a two-week assess
ment and evaluation seminar to
culminate the summer study-
travel program funded by De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare Title 3 funds.
Steve Stewart, 23-year-old
A&M graduate student, said the
experience on the Limon River
in Venezuela was just one of
many adventures encountered by
his group.

river to see the Guajira Indians,”
Stewart recalled. “The Indians
live in houses built over the river
and it is a very interesting cul
ture and civilization.”
However, the boat broke down
and the seven Americans were
stranded several hours until an
other boat was dispatched to
pick them up.
“It was something we will
never forget,” Stewart assured.
Mrs. J. P. White, a French and
Spanish teacher at Hardin-Jef-
ferson High School, Sour Lake,
was a member of a different
group which toured the Carib
bean.
Mrs. White said she was
amazed by the “taki-taki” lan
guage spoken in Surinam and
parts of Dutch Guiana.
“They do not teach taki-taki
in. school,” she declared, “yet it
is the native language.”
Mrs. White explained that
Negro slaves brought from Af
rica apparently escaped and be
cause of the many different lan
guages they made up their own.
She said taki-taki has a little bit
of every language but the struc
ture is English.
“They say a person can learn
the language in three weeks, and
I believe it,” Mrs. White vouched.
Voodoism is still a part of
every native’s way of life in the
Caribbean, she pointed out.
There is a beautiful house on
Martinique that no one will live
in because zombies are believed
to inhabit it, Mrs. White added.
Stewart dived in South Amer
ica for 15 years. His father is
employed by the Agency for In
ternational Development. Stew
art’s group toured Bogota, Cali,
Medellin, Cartagena and Barran-
quilla, Columbia, and Caracas
and Maracaibo, Venezuela.
