On a hot day it might be nice to take a boat ride on the river.

Of course, not all boat rides are the same.  This was a boat on a tributary of the Amazon.  Donnie took it, docked at Leticia, Colombia, before he jumped on board for our trip to Benjamin Constant, Brazil.

And, believe me, it was not cool.  In fact, Benjamin Constant is the absolutely hottest place I've ever been.  And, I can attest to the fact that, in the middle of the Amazon rain forest you ain't gonna find any A/C!!
