And we're off

We are on the plane, waiting for lunch to be served, so I thought I would fill you in on yesterdays happenings. We did not get up as early as planned, so we did not have a lot of time for sightseeing, but managed a quick trip on the Metro to the Washington Mall. We walked about 3/4 of the way to the Capital, close enough to snap a few pictures, then decided to take a quick tour through the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. All it did was confirm that we have to come back to DC for a longer stay. The Library of Congress exceeded both our expectations. A beautiful and fantastic building filled with amazing items. The only comparison that comes to mind is the Doges's Palace in Venice.

Today was another early start but the plane is comfortable. Large seats with lots of room to stretch out - there were goodies and little gifts for us in our seats. We are about an hour out of Iquitos, Peru. From there we take a 1-1/2 hour boat ride down the river to our lodge.

Since we have full bellies, it's time to recline and catch 40 winks before we touch down.
