Went to a local village of about 150. Learned how they cook and bought some crafts.

Some pictures of our boat. The boat is Aqua Nera owned by Aqua Expeditions sailing for this cruise for Uniworld. Great small river boat and companies.

No fancy marinas on the Amazon. When it is time to stop, pull up at a shore and tie a line around a tree.

Finished the day with a night skiff ride on a small tributary of the Amazon. Guided by a small handheld searchlight. It was nice to just ride and not have to drive at night!

LOOKS LIKE I DON'T NEED TO GO TO PERU EITHER NOW!

I DO BELIEVE THE ONLY PLACE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN YET IS MILFORD CT - CORRECT?

LOVE YOU BOTH AND EXTREMELY JEALOUS AS I SIT HERE AT WORK AT 71 YEARS OF AGE.
