Down the Amazon
We rose to the sun. A few clouds to the east promised to provide shelter from the heat of the day, but nothing more. We found our small aluminium boat, then departed for Jessonia near 1000h. The Amazon is full of garbage -- natural garbage, flotsam, like fallen trees, bushes, etc. -- but it makes for slow going. We had to stop often to turn the …
