So after yesterday’s excitement, we went back to the doctor, who removed Duane’s IV. Then we carefully had breakfast. Since Alter is a beach resort for this area of the Amazon, I took pictures from our balcony and Duane went back to sleep. This early evening we leave here and arrive in Santarem, just up the river.
The beaches here are said to equal the most beautiful ocean beaches. Notice the water is blue. Up to now it has been brown, from the sedement (sp). Here, a tributary comes in and has lots of clean blue water. You could take a local canoe to where the river meets the tributary. But we are staying on board to give Duane a chance to recover. Maybe tonight when we get to Santarem, we might go ashore. Since we are staying there overnight, I am sure we will see it tomorrow.
