oh the beauty of travel, of having no commitments.
my plans have changed. a flight to and from altamira and a flight from belém to são paulo just isn't worth it. plus, i don't like fliying that much!
im joining everyone in the hostel for an excurssion by boat up the amazon! sleeping in hammoks on the deck of the boat for five days. sound exciting? well actually we will be stopping in santarem for a few days, checking out the jungle and the white sand amazonian beaches. in manaus the plan is to book an amazon safari tour. maybe i'll finally see that jaguar.
as of right now nothing too exciting has happened. i bought a hammok (only 15 reais-$6.50 US!) ate some beans, pasta, rice and salad. oh and açai. the açai is drinken straight up here, no sugar, no granola, no fruit. it's intense. we listened to the people sitting next to us make fun of us, they thought we didn't speak protuguses. whops, i guess i do the same to tourists in yosemite too. not quite as fun to be on the other end of things.
i need to pack up my mochila and stock up at the grocery store. be prepared for updates in santarem.
tchau!
