You guys are amazing! We’re so proud of you cousins, and are enjoying your blog reports. Would love to hear if you’re enjoying some beautiful sights along the rivers (trees, birds, etc.) — hopefully it’s not too much industrial stuff along your way. We look forward to hearing about the rest of the trip. I’m going to notify the Florence newspaper, in case they don’t already know about your long journey with dear old Florence as the goal, so that they’ll do a feature on your triumphant arrival. Maybe you’ll become as famous as Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon-Tiki!
Love, Carolyn & Matthew

Looks like a great adventure. I wish you calm waters as you keep rolling down the river. Have fun men.
