amazon river trip

amazon ......just the name alone sounds romantic, scary, forbidden and just adventurous.....or, at least, that is how it sounds to me.....i barely touched the surface with a 6 day boat trip from iquitos to manaus.....but, i was hooked just by that little trip and haunted both by the river and the images of alex webb.....to see alex's work please take a look at his book "amazon"....

any river trip takes me to huck finn in my mind no matter where i am.....and no matter where i am i remember that it was mark twain who made me aware of travel and adventure in the first place......one of my favorite lines from twain was when he described being on the river at night.....twain said "it was late and it smelt late".....
