one more sunset-hey consider yourself lucky, I took about ten sunset pics
Toby and Tim on the morning we arrived in Florida, I think these guys kept us from going slightly mad

Devil's Isle/Isle Royale:

The infamous Devil's Isle-80% of prisoners sent to prisons in French Guyana died there, those that died were fed to the sharks
crumbling prison cells on Isle Royale
children's cemetery on Isle Royale-this was for the children of wardens and officials
Sad little grave-June 28 1905 to October 9 1905....regrets....
a glimpse into one of the nicer reclusion or solitary cells

Pictures from the Amazon:

Boca De Valeria-the worst stop on the trip, sad animals tethered to sticks for tourists, I got back on the ship and had a word with staff
natives from Boca de Valeria wait for passengers to throw gifts of any kind
Mike and Beth in front of the Opera House in Manaus
Front of opera house in Manaus
Manaus opera house square, the black and white wave tile pattern represents the meeting of the black waters of the Rio Negro and the cloudy Amazon
aboard our small boat and off into the flooded forests of the Amazon
The meeting of the waters of the Rio Negro and the Amazon, looks like cream poured into coffee
water roadways that are normally small trickles in the dry season
the floods create endless water pathways
more water and more green
out on our day long water tour of the flooded forest
villagers seining for fish
Intriguing pathways-I found these most interesting, there were hundreds of little dark arches into the forest that could be followed by boat
more intriguing pathways
swimming village children watch us approach
children watch us as adults stir baking manioc flour-manioc is a staple and is eaten with each meal, sidenote-manioc tastes like doodoo
Mike rests outside the village
that little speck is a dolphin, that was as good a pic as I could get
our first night on the Amazon, small boats took us out to look for alligators
we find baby alligators, our guides handle them nicely and return them to where they found them
Mike's mother takes a look but keeps her distance
Mike has to hold one but I decline-and make it stop looking at me
 
 

Our splendid time in Ft. Lauderdale with George and Sarah:

djs from club
Mike George and Sarah, genuine happy grins every one
as my friends know, I am always happy if I can run out and wave to a train in the middle of the night
Beth George and Sarah, more happy grins
one more pub shot featuring the versatile looks of George
sitting around the pub
