World is
Grunwald? Grunwald's Amazing Amazon Adventure
|
 The mighty and beautiful Amazon River |
 Now the real journey begins. |
 Lady in Brazil who wanted to marry me. |
 Grunwald buying underwear on the street after his clothes were lost. |
 90 and hot outside with raw eggs on the street....and people buy them like crazy...no thanks! |
 They sell live chickens on the street. I don't think they have those on 8 mile. |
 They clean and butcher them right in front of you....it's so not sanitary. ughhh yuck! |
 If you want a slurpee on the streets of Brazil this is the old fashioned way - with a block of ice and by hand |
 Its a banana boat....and not the sun tan kind....62 bananas for $2.00 BEAT THAT KROGER! |
 People in a village that we stopped at along the way. |
 This little boy wanted to sell me a juice. I bought the whole case from him and he was my friend all day. |
 My boat and the Amazon River |
 Going fishing in a dug out canoe. This things is only about 3 inches off the water you CANNOT move or you will tip it. |
 Amazon River |
 My guide, my friend, my LIFESAVER, Orlando Penado, who grew up in the jungle...He is Tarzan. |
 Dinner I ate fish for every meal for 4 days |
 It's only 1 inch long, yellow, black and blue and one of the most poisonous things in the world. The natives use the poison on the spear tips. |
 More Dinner ...Peacock Bass |
 Grunwald and the kids of the village with the teacher |
 The best part of my trip...the school kids I spent the day with. I will never forget them or how happy they were to get a box of crayons |
 Look at the Anaconda...yes, it's alive...yes, it's 21 ft long and over 400lbs...yes, it can eat an adult and it's very deadly. |
 Stretching the Anaconda |
 More anaconda |
 What was I thinking? |
 Smile for the camera! |
 I went to get my towel off the line and Orlando said to me...STEVEN...DON'T MOVE...and I didn't. I looked 2 feet to my left and freaked out |
 Grunwald, Croc Hunter |
 Look what jumped into the boat....a wild monkey! |
 Which one is Grunwald? |
 Hi Sweetie, want some fruit? |
 The larva the is a favorite dish among the natives...they cooked this for me as a special meal and I would not eat it. I almost threw up. |
 Saying goodbye to my guide. I made a great friend for life! Thanks Orlando |
 Amazon after a hard rain. It rained everyday & look how dirty it is! That's what I took a bath in - no wonder I smelled. |
