| The ship is near Macapa, Brazil. We're waiting for permission to transit the Amazon and the local pilot. |
 |
| It's a rainforest, so it was raining and a little foggy as the ship moved up the Amazon. |
 |
| The beautiful blues and blue-green of the ocean has been replaced by the muddy Amazon. |
 |

 |
| ... and the guy gave us a friendly wave. |
 |
| You can see the many birds in the trees. |
 |
| The crew member is raising the Dutch flag as we dropped anchor. |
 |

 |
| Boat travel is the only method of transportation, and it can take several days to get to another city. |
