Hola Amigos, from Iquitos Peru

Hola amigos, I am in Iquitos Peru again. I apologize for not posting again on TravelBlog sooner. I have been attempting a lot, and some things had to be set aside. Now I want to write about what we have been working on.

Dawn on the Amazon I is getting a face lift. We built in a 100 gallon gas tank in the bow. Made the boat wider to improve stability, and longer to increase capacity. The improvements make Dawn on the Amazon I the number one riverboat in Iquitos Peru of her size.

My son Mateo, went with me on two Amazon cruises, one to Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Reserve and another to Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. I will let you know about those Amazon cruises and what all we saw and did in future posts.

The Amazon Golf Course is unique in the world.

My brother and I are creating another web site, this time for the Amazon Golf Course, founded by Mike Collis and located a few kilometers outside of Iquitos Peru. Hopefully we will have that web site ready in a few days. The hazards include red-tailed boas, and caiman.

Fitzcarraldo is the most famous movie made in Iquitos Peru

Marmelita convinced me we work too much, so we took yesterday afternoon off. We enjoy swimming in the nice pool at La Casa Fitzcarraldo, surrounded by orchids, bromeliads, and hibiscus bushes. You might have heard of the owner. Walter Saxer was the Executive Producer of the movie Fizcarraldo, directed by Warner Hertzog in and around Iquitos Peru.

I am pleased to be back in Iquitos Peru. Thanks for your interest.
