Our cheerful and plucky young hound finds himself in Brazil this week (after having fallen asleep in a container of machine parts bound for Sao Paulo). He has managed to attach himself to a tour party travelling inland along the Amazon river. He writes to his brother Malcolm:
Hi Malcolm,
Travelled up river all day by canoe. So hot, went for a swim and got bitten on the backside by a FISH!
It's worse than the time we got in that fight with the bulldog in Carnforth.
See ya bro'

Here is the page I have made for the postcard in Roland Poland's Travel Book.
The postcard is hand drawn and brayered with inks and coloured in with Copic markers, The book is coloured with oil pastels and Copic markers. Thanks for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment - I appreciate them all.
