Today was fairly uneventful on the ship but it was our first day on the Amazon. The river is enormous; the riverbanks seem far away on both sides of the deck. I didn’t know a river could be this huge! We are beginning preparations for arriving in Manaus as several members of the American Embassy in Brazil boarded so that they could talk to the students before we docked. The water in the river is muddy brown and the water is almost completely flat. We watched Fitzcarraldo in the evening while enjoying popcorn. I can’t wait to arrive in Manaus on the 23rd.
