We have a quick (well, 6 hour) stop in Santarem today - about half way between Manaus and Belem (our final destination).
I have a LONG blog post with pics that I will post when we have more time in Belem. Today is Friday, and we arrive there on Sunday. This is a VERY welcome break as the boat is beyond boring. There is nothing to do other than read, look at the same scenery for hours on end or sleep, literally (it is a small boat - so even finding somewhere to sit where they are not blasting Portugese music is difficult). But I am still very glad we are not sleeping in hammocks - you would NOT believe how many people are squished down on the hammock deck!
Just wanted to wish a Happy (belated) birthday to our friend Mike in Minnesota
and my Mother-in-law Lyn in Australia. Hope you both had GREAT days - we were thinking of you!

Dear Monique and Murray:
Glad to hear that all is well and that you are having an amazing journey. I am thankful for the blog, as we check it every day to see where you are and how you are doing. Tried to write to you from Mexico, but I see that it did not go through. Hope this does. Love you. We prepare for Thanksgiving next week and are thankful for your health and welfare. Love, Mom
