Description
In this image, pretty much everyone has lost interest in the turistas. Look through the open door at the left, there is a coffee mug on the table (well, I assume it is that great strong Peruvian coffee, but, of course it might be coca tea.) Everyone seems relaxed - especially the person reclining on the bench on top of the river taxi on the far right. How many people? I counted 27. I could be wrong.

I think your photos about Iquitos are just fantastic! We lived in Peru 48 years ago & visited Iquitos & the Amazon idians. At that time it was the floating city & I wonder if that,s now the Shanty town. Still very interesting & your photos bring wonderful memories back. Thank you for this great photos!

Thank you so much for your comments Eydie. I just opened a little one man show of several of these pictures at a local library branch here in El Paso, TX.
