| Jim and Sharron come with us on a river cruise |
| Bamboo rafts ply Jamaica's Rio Grande from it's source to the ocean. Once used to carry bananas, now they carry us! |
| Talented raft captains can pole while drinking beer |
| How do the rafts get back upstream? Body-sculpting anyone? |
| Running the rapids |
| Barb and Bob pull ahead of Jim and Sharron (here) |
| Pristine and quiet |
| Riverside refreshment stand |
| A travertine pool |
| A new raft being shaped |
| Leaving the new raft in our wake |
| Lots of people enjoy the river such as this man netting fish |
| Sharron gets an assist... |
| ...and takes the helm! |
| Barb responds to the challenge!! |
| But they can't keep up! |
| Poling is harder work than I thought! |
| We leave them far astern |
| Local wildlife abounds |
| Rafts pile up at the end |
| The end of the ride is a beautiful public park |
| The park's graceful headquarters |
| We exit the Rio Grande |
