A sloth about to disappear…. a vanishing act that surprised us…..
A sloth with a baby clinging to her chest….. fuzzy…. it was utterly amazing how this monumentally slow animal could literally disappear in the leaves….
The business end of one of many such visitors
A boa over our path, high in the flooding canopy… but less than 10 feet above us.
The source of it all…. early lifetime addictions formed by this and served up everywhere including deep in the Amazon…. a chocolate seed pod.
Paddling along through a wide spot in the road, so to speak….. around the next bend is an early local variation of a road-side candy store.
Location, location, location–in the middle of the flooded jungle somewhere out there is this true entrepreneur selling chocolates when he is not too busy bailing out the water in his leaky canoe. One of our party had been lamenting that she had not bought any Brazilian chocolate–she stocked up here and made his day.
These folks have already taken themselves and their cows to higher ground–wherever that is!
Fishing from the living room for a few more days until the flood waters move them out.
