LUXURY AMAZON RIVER CRUISE

Well, maybe it is more like a colonial slave freighter. Packed in like sardines, stacking the hammocks at different levels helps me not rub shoulders with Chris all night - but we have met some cool people, still looking for a place to stay for Carnival.

We are hitting the Spanish hard, there is not much to do all day on the boat, and my Boy Blue, like the schoolteacher he is, is grilling me big time, the Imperfect tense seems to be my kryptonite...

Another couple of nights and we hit Belem, then onward and southward to a week of partying it up with the locals...
