Here are a couple other pictures from the trip. One picture is of our “eco-lodge”, thought there was nothing environmentally friendly about it. All the cabins had air conditioning and Brian and I alone went through 9 bottles of water in less than 24 hours. The picture of the water is called the “Meeting of the Waters”. This is where the Negro River's dark water and the Solimões River's muddy brown water come together to form the Amazonas River. For 3.7 miles, both rivers waters run side by side, without mixing. This is caused by the great difference between the water temperatures and current speeds. The lilies are the largest lilies in the world (so I am told), and some are up to 6 feet in diameter. And, if you want to see the cutest and best picture of monkeys, check out Brian’s blog. I wont even post my pictures because they can’t compete with Brian’s (www.happymediumstudios.blogspot.com). The monkeys were the best part of the trip!
