We are chugging along down the amazon! the water is brown and looks nasty... we are close to one of the banks of the amazon and can sometimes see people on the shore. its not that sunny just really muggy... (still have my spf 30 on though! and mom i have been wearing 30 on my face and 15 everywhere else every day!) the big project for today and planning what i am going to do in Manaus. couple of my friends are going to be gone on a 4 day river boat thing but im signed up for a bunch of day activities (including Brazilian Dance which im not sure how mom convinced me to do that) so i should stay busy! class today isn't until 2:55 so i get to read and do some homework outside till then. ps mom i didn't get your letter... i'll go down later today to ask about it
