    Downtown.

    The cathedral.





    The harbor.

    The market and Rio Negro.


    The opera house.





    Ponta Negra beach.





    Yup, that river water is pretty dark.



    "The meeting of the waters".

    This is where Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes meet to form Rio Amazonas.


    Going up Rio Solimoes.


    Now that's a decent sized piranha!



    A big alligator in captivity.

    Canoeing into the jungle.

    Two more (smaller) alligators.



    It's small, but still, it's not every day you catch a piranha!

    The sun is setting over the jungle.

    Yes, we caught our own alligator!
