I had no intention of ruffling any feathers fellows . I was asked to join and asked to share, But at my age I have zero problem with apologizing. It appears my post about the trips my husband and I took up/down some rivers, including the Amazon, were viewed differently than I had envisioned, Guys, we were married over 50 years before he passed or over 2400 weeks. Eight weeks during that time to explore eight rivers is not a lot of time. Secondly, yes people do travel up and down the Amazon on riverboats and some of the boats are pretty comfortable--plus there are several hotels on the Amazon river. We stayed in one build in trees for a couple of days. The Amazon IS visited by tourist, a lot of them.
My point was I was laughing at myself for thinking the Amazon thread was about the Amazon River. Regardless, I had no intention of upsetting anyone with my posts and apologize for doing so. This is a very good forum and I have ben warmly received by some and thank those who did so, but on reflection I understand how our travels and interest in hunting and firearms throughout my life could be misinterpreted .
