For some reason the blog won't let me put the pictures in the order they were taken as we sailed inland up the river at sunrise. It was a lovely 4 hour journey with civilization slowly, gradually emerging, as the sun and the fishermen rose. The river winds back and forth, you begin to see structures on the horizon, closer with each bend, until finally you are in the middle of a very busy river with an even busier city beyond. The first picture shows how the boats like to optimize their cargo for each trip. Danny took lots of pictures of these low riders, and this was lowest of them all. We never saw one sink, but we didn't get to follow this one ...I'll start another post for the city, because because by my count this one is already over 6,000 words.
What a superb writer you are becoming -- it goes to show that the more you experience of life, the more eloquent you become in every way. Bring home the love, Mary and Dan. Ginny
