From the Amazon

I only have a few minutes but here are a few glimpses of our journey so far.



Our first view of the Amazon basin




At the place where the Rio de Solineos and the Rio de Negro meet and it becomes the Amazon




Farmland along the river




Fishing boats we used to go up and down the river




The group of assistants who carried luggage, drove boats, wove crowns, cut clove bark, shot arrows, threaded fish hooks - pretty much did everything!




Piranha fishing

We are leaving Brasilia in an hour and heading 475 km southeast to see farms today. Love you all!
