Brazil is very Catholic
Playing Pachelbel in Brasilia Cathedral
Waiting for our trip outside Santerem to the Vila de Alter and our three nights stay
An open warehouse next to our villas housed these creations, perhaps part of a festival
One of the indigenous communities along the Amazon raises turtles. These are from a pen of adults. We fed them.
Before we began our trek through the jungle I stepped into this classroom
We boated thirty miles downriver to a community of indigenous people who serve as guides for a jungle trek and who prepare meals for the trekkers.
Six miles. 90 degrees, 95% humidity. Jadyne was stellar.
Three miles in. I hated to get out.
One of the indigenous community members who served us lunch
In town for dinner
(Sigh)
The rivers are as much as twenty kilometers across and are used for commerce
Along the way
The Amazon is made of several tributaries that together form the Amazon itself. One of them, the Rio Negro, is at the top of the image. Its waters are gray; the Amazon is brown. The rivers run side by side for more than ten miles before combining into one river.
A lake along the Amazon
Restaurant along the Amazon
Sand bars with clean white sand and shelters filled the landscapes wherever we went
I couldn’t resist
