Life on the River

November 10
Visited the village of Caboclos (population 75) at Boca da Valeria (mouth of the Valeria river that feeds into the Amazon).  The houses are all on stilts and there is a church and school. The residents all come out to sell their wares and have photos taken of their children holding jungle critters--birds, sloths, monkeys, and baby caimans, in return for a dollar, of course.
