For $5 you can take about an hour boat ride to see the community... a great dea!l |
First stop was going through the tall grass to see the giant water lilies. |
Amazing. |
The village cattle were grazing and wading at the same time. |
Some of the wildlife our boat encountered. Thank goodness no dangerous wildlife was visible. |
A bird making a loud call. |
I was in a boat like this with six folks and a local driver. |
The kids, speaking Portuguese and pointing, wanted us to see their "pets." All for $1 a picture. |
Even the teenagers got in on the act. |
I climbed up the hill to the neighboring village. You can see the ship in the background. |
The Amazon rainforest was beautiful as were the clouds in the sky. Here I am on that lookout point overlooking the forest. |
This young lady had a pet monkey. He stayed on her head the entire time. |
After about an hour on the tributary, the group returned to the village. |
It looks like we have some folks who want to join us on the ship. They are beside the tender boat. |
The final tender returns to the ship, and the next stop will be in Manaus for two days. |
