I always wanted to visit this island at least once in my lifetime. Finally, my friends and I will fly to Madeira next week. Luckily, we have received our <a href="https://www.portugal-visa.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">visa to Portugal</a> well on time.

The dirt roads seem dry. I'm surprised with all the rain and it being a rain forest? The link to the Fordlandia story was very interesting. It seems the project failed because of disease (malaria, yellow fever), poor cultural practices (planting rubber trees too close together causing disease) and the lousy American food served to the workers. I guess the advent of synthetic rubber in 1945 really finished off the project. $278 million loss. Wow! <br /><br />The shot of the town with all the tile roofs was interesting. It looks like they have solar panels, gas, phone service and dish TV. The homes all seem exactly the same but well equipped.<br /><br />Lots of flora and fauna in the protected rain forest. Great shot of the iguana, Val!<br /><br />Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552211856045635975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998588848972934139.post-54455026616677613402019-05-25T15:17:54.522-07:002019-05-25T15:17:54.522-07:00Again the costumes astound!

I have so many questions ... Where are the cattle taken in the wet season? Does someone own a house on stilts or are they first come first serve? Fishing for piranha- I thought piranha fished for people?? What happens if you fall out of one of those little boats? Do the piranha eat you? Will one of those huge lily pads hold a person like a life raft? Can you escape being eaten by the piranha by climbing into one? I didn't see any life jackets? OSHA? The Sloth seemed so docile. How do they defend against the hawks? What an adventure!! Your room on the ship must have never looked so good! Did your dreams that night seem a little different than usual?? Amazing!!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552211856045635975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998588848972934139.post-82532177069372460112019-05-14T16:24:07.406-07:002019-05-14T16:24:07.406-07:00Great opening shots of the Amazon River!

I'd like to be a guest for a single day- and one day only. I assume no electricity or phone service? Google Maps, though poor in quality, reveals hundreds of miles of just jungle on either side of the river.

Rather, Samba Schools are groups of people who live in the same area defined by customs or something unique that bonds them together as a "neighborhood". For whatever reason, each "school" is indeed unique. That fact becomes abundantly clear when you see the costumes at the Sambadome from each school. I looked ahead at the next day of the Sambadome. Amazing! And, I think you picked the right place to get your box seat (DoBrazilRight). How can you beat right next to the action!

My first impressions are that an Oscar must go to costume design and another to costume creation. The "head dress" or hat seems to represent the theme from which the rest of the costume supports. Those wearing the costumes look like they have been working out for months preparing for their moment. Many recognizable themes seen here; Roman Soldiers, clowns, witches, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, painted full-bodied derriere and more. You have convinced me, if I ever get to Rio, I will plan my visit around the Sambadome. Wow!
