The second day of our river journey was long - eight hours in the wind and cool damp air. A pregnant woman lies down near the front of the boat on the floor. I cover her with a blanket from my pack. Hours pass by before our long boat slows down to stop along a sandbar. I look up and see the most striking woman dressed in a beautiful traditional outfit. Her stature and striking presence is so inspiring.
