15 November 2015 ~ Last Day in the Amazon

Listening to: Boy and Bear ~ Walk the Wire


On the way to a village, this woman was so proud off the roosters she was taking to market, she insisted on a picture.

Arriving at the village, we stopped by a house. During the rainy season when this village floods, everything gathers and lives on the platform...extended family, chickens, pigs, etc.

We visited the school where all the children told us their names and we went around the group and told them where we were from. The we all sang a song together. We left behind toothbrushes/paste and school supplies.

We also stopped in a "lake" of the Amazon where we went swimming. There was a strong current and rain clouds gathering, so I didn't stay in too long. There was a rainbow which I did not get a picture of, but I did get one of this cloud.

We paused a moment to look at pink and grey dolphins jumping out of the water. Here is a short video.

We ended the day with cocktails and snacks on the beach.
