| Arrival at this city... |
 |
| City's Cathedral ~1711 |
 |
| The Amazon River is the main "commute" for these residents, their roads are in poor condition....so many folks depend on river for travel. |
 |
| Big boats and small use the river to move people from town to town = long distance, so the residents can buy a boat ticket which entitles them to a hammock for their travel days. |
 |
| Our bus tour included a visit to this rural family farm. |
 |
| Above is milky sap = LATEX gathered from rubber tree. |
 |
| Peeling of Manioc tubers, which is then ground, drained 'n cooked. We observed this activity at the family property. Manioc = Cassava or yucca is a staple in Brazilian cooking. |
 |
| Brazil Nuts ...as they fill a dense, heavy pod. |
 |
| Ahhhh, these are the memory from my childhood. |
 |
| Nice'n informative time with a local family... |
