I just reserved a hammock, for September, on the support boat for
The Great River Amazon Raft Race 2008!
There are the luxury accommodations for viewing the race on the “Dawn on the Amazon III,” the half price accommodations on the “Dawn on the Amazon I,” and then there are the cramped, uncomfortable accommodations aboard the support boat, where I reserved a spot. This should be an incredible opportunity for photos and stories…plus a really cheap Amazon cruise!
Actual hammocks on the support boat of last year’s race. Photo by Niko Kyriakou. His wonderful story of the race and additional photos (such as “Raft number 13 before the storm tore it apart on Friday”) are HERE
HERE is a nice blog entry about the race by Bill Grimes.
If you are in or near New York City, don’t miss this amazing exhibit on display at the Met until Sept. 1, 2008:
Radiance from the Rain Forest: Featherwork in Ancient Peru
See more of my photos from it HERE. It inspired me to get a bunch of colorful (non-Amazonian artificially dyed turkey) feathers to bring along for craft projects!

I am getting ready for my departure in a week…consolidating my life into two, probably three suitcases…amazed at how much space stuff occupies…
