This last week we took a little road trip to Presidente Figuereido.

Here is Edivaldo making my breakfast. Its kind of like a tapioca flour tortilla filled with cheese and fruit. i would highly recommend it.

This is for Wendy. I am teaching the local indigenous population correct creeping techniques. It is important for their economic development.

Sean and I love to do awesome things all the time.

This is on the trail on the way to the waterfalls.

After a hard day of swimming through jungle rivers and playing amazing waterfalls, Sean and I take a moment to ponder the beauty that surrounds us.

This is Cachoeira do Santuário.

This is the head of an ant that decided to bite Isabella's foot. These ants have massive pinchers that do not let go even when the body is no longer attached. I had to use a key to pry the pinchers out of her foot.

Here is a full ant that decided to bite her sandal. That thing is stuck in the rubber. The local indians have a test before a boy can become a man and a hunter, he has to put his arm in a nest of these ants.

This is over at my friend Richard's house. He has a ton of neices and nephews and although they were not quite as cool as my neices and nephews, it was a lot of fun to play games for a couple hours.

Here is me and Richard and his fiancé Ana out by Ponta Negra and Hotel Tropical.

This is the little bridge thing we were standing on in the previous picture.

These are some crazy looking little fruits that I have never seen anywhere else in Brazil. Everyone I ask tells me a diffrent name for the fruit, so I am not really sure what it is called.

The inside of this fruit might very well be the fruit from the tree of life. It is white and amazingly delicious. It is very sweet and there are a few little seeds inside.

This is genipapo. They had it in Bahia and it was one of those things that most Americans hated so I drank it all the time.

To make juice from genipapo you must wash the outside very thoroughly, then you scoop out the inside and through it away, then cut up the rest and put it in the blender with water and sugar. It tastes and looks like it you took all the rotting leaves out of you raingutter and mixed them with gasoline. but it is supposed to be super good for you especially if you have low iron.
