As I write this, all of our things are on a slow boat traveling upriver towards Manaus. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Santarem with 2 friends, Alison and Dillon. We are taking my truck to meet the boat, transfer our stuff to another boat, and travel along with our stuff and truck to Manaus. If all goes as planned we'll be arriving on the 13th, my birthday. So far things have been going well. Here are some pictures for those that are wondering...

| We will miss the huge wardrobe that we had been using to hold our home school material (not to mention the spacious school room). The wardrobe wasn't ours, and after moving our much smaller wardrobe, I'm so glad we didn't have to move the behemoth. |

| Packing up the kitchen. |

| Our furniture waiting to be loaded into the truck |
 |
| We loaded the truck Friday afternoon, Saturday morning we traveled 45 minutes to Vitoria to meet the boat. |

| Unloading the truck at the port in Vitoria. |

| Our stuff should be safe in the bowels of the Ana Maria, the next boat from Santarem to Manaus will not be so secure (it will probably be a Line Boat, full of people in addition to cargo). |

Wish we could be there to help with the move!
Thanks for the update and pics. We have been thinking about and praying for you. Wow, I would love to ride along with you on this move--sounds like a great adventure.
God bless, every morning, 5:40 you are being prayed for. We hope to see you briefly in 2012! Thank you for all the pictures. Vick and I understand how hard this must be on one hand and how exciting on the other. God is good.
