BOCA DA VALERIA, BRAZIL
Hi all. Below is an overview of the day by Carol, as I decided to stay on board for the day. Happy Readings!
What an interesting day in Boca. I went ashore with Mark and Pam. Cor decided to stay abroad the ship.
The town is a small village carved out of the jungle with about 100 people of indigenous and Portuguese decent.
The beautiful children were there to greet us, some dressed in their native outfits and showed us their exotic animals. The kids had a lot of sloths to show us. I gave them an American dollar if I stopped to take a photo.
We decided to hire a fellow to take us up the river to see more of the community. It was so interesting. We saw these large lily pads. Most people from the cruise ship hired a small boat to take them along the waterways. 5 American dollars for a 45 minute ride. Well worth it. We stopped to have a cool drink at this funny blue place on stilts before hopping back on the tender boat to take me back to the ship.
Cheers

The lily pads look like Lotus pads. How beautiful! Cor might have picked a bad day to stay on board. Thanks for the update Carol.
