Amazon: Monday

Just got back from our vacation to the Amazon. We did it luxury style, on an Iberostar cruise ship down the Rio Negro. Near Manaus, Brazil, 2 rivers - the Solimoes and the Negro eventually combine to form the Amazon River. Our cruise was down the Negro, 3 degrees south of the Equator. Each day we went on excursions that actually took us into the jungle, but at night we could still sleep in air conditioned comfort. I wrote about the trip while I was there, and have transcribed it in the Amazon posts.

3/7
I'M IN THE AMAZON! I am currently floating on the Rio Negro into the jungle. It is night, and there are almost no lights. It looks like we're sailing straight into the heart of darkness.
