These photos describe part of our river trip.
The canoe ride in to our friend’s buffalo ranch for breakfast one morning is a great memory. They brought out kilos of cheese made from buffalo milk and were so grateful for our visit…talk about a royal welcome. These people still use a treadle sewing machine.
Another great memory is when Clenildo canoed in up some creek to where they were making farinha and tapioca. He bought about 30 kilos. It was still warm from the oven. He also had a bunch of abacaba fruit, which is similar to açai. It is a VERY special drink, abacaba and farinha, with no sugar (there was none on the boat we took home the last day.)
