Happy Memorial Day to everyone in the USA!  I realize most of you are probably enjoying the weekend and not online reading blogs.  The whole blogosphere seems very quiet today.   I did a random search for “mood reading”  that goes along with the part of the world I am currently blogging about.  This book looked really interesting!

In April 2008, Ed Stafford set off to become the first man ever to walk the entire length of the Amazon. He started on the Pacific coast of Peru, crossed the Andes Mountain range to find the official source of the river. His journey lead on through parts of Colombia and right across Brazil; all while outwitting dangerous animals, machete wielding indigenous people as well as negotiating injuries, weather and his own fears and doubts. Yet, Stafford was undeterred. On his grueling 860-day, 4,000-plus mile journey, Stafford witnessed the devastation of deforestation firsthand, the pressure on tribes due to loss of habitats as well as nature in its true-raw form. Jaw-dropping from start to finish, Walking the Amazon is the unforgettable and gripping story of an unprecedented adventure.

Enjoy your 3 day weekend and check back tomorrow to learn how to travel down the Tapajos River!
