Stories from Suriname

We traveled to Suriname last summer. For those of you who don't know, Suriname is a small country in the Northern part of South America. It is mostly rainforest and the capital city is called Paramaribo (accent on the "mar"). Although mostly we went to see the sites, traveling around a remote country can be an experience in itself, which is documented in this layout.

The journaling reads:We needed to cross the Paramaribo river to get to Jodensavanne. The bridge had been hit by a boat (years ago) and was replaced by this "ferry". The ferry had limited hours, long lunch breaks, and a driver who went when he wanted. It was odd fully loaded with 3 cars plus people. It seems there are no real plans to fix the bridge.

This is the first of many layouts from our Suriname trip. I used this sketch from sketch-n-scrap. I'm also linking this up to Anything Goes at Paper Issues. 

Thanks for looking!
