Today all four of us went for a boat trip up the river into the delta, an area full of small islands and canals. There are no roads, so the people who live on all these islands get around by boat - their own, or the river taxis (well, they're more like river buses, as they hold about eighty people) that splash up and down constantly. We took a taxi waaay up into the delta to the Dorado Club, a restaurant where we had lunch and lazed about in the green and the sun and the quiet, having a fantastic day. This photo is of a floating store, a boat full of simple provisions. It pulls up to docks, and people buy what they need. Or, you can pull your boat up to it and conduct your business like that. Our taxi stopped to buy mate. Of course.
