Manaus

oba! i though belém was urban, manuas is much more. it 'spins me out' that it is an international port 150 km inland, weird. the boat ride was long, and i felt ill the entire time so i wasn't doing too much sight seeing. we were the only gringos on the boat as well and recieved much unwanted male attention. god, i wish i knew how to tell them how to fuck off in portuguese. thank you, yes, i know im beautiful. no, i do not want to marry you. no, im not married. yes, i have a boyfriend. gah. leave me alone. incessent. but, the families were great. i have a new 11 year old best friend names paloma.
today it is off to the zoo, and some other sightseeingingingly things. but first lunch!

tchau
