Marge eyed the canoe with misgivings. In Bogotá the rental canoe sank as soon as the man renting it disappeared around a bend. In Alaska it took fifteen tourists paddling hard for two hours to get the heavy canoe across a little nothing of a lake. In Patagonia a whole fleet of fluorescent pink fiberglass canoes that looked stupid in front of such grandeur ruined a lot of her pictures.
“What’s the matter, Marge? Never been in a canoe before?” One of the tourists who had loudly proclaimed it was his first trip happily hopped into the canoe.
Marge smiled politely. “Something like that.”
