    Never saw a pink dolphin before; not very cute (most visible @ end of video).This is a type of fruit; meh.Just looking 'up'.See the little cayman?How's that for a look....he doesn't seem pleased.Our driver just reached in & pulled him out of the water.This cannot be an easy life...These lillypads last ~3 mos b/f deteriorating; their flowers only last 3 days.A little bird eventually pops out here.The 'meeting of the waters' (in front of an incoming storm).

    Manaus, day 2

    March 28 in Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

    Boat tour around a few canals -- amazing.
    At the end of the ride we passed through what's called the 'meeting of the waters': a natural phenomenon near Manaus where the dark Rio Negro and the sandy-colored Solimões River run side-by-side for over 6 km (4 miles) without mixing. They don't mix for a few reasons
    Rio Negro: Dark, warm (~28°C) & slower flowing (~2km/hr).
    Rio Solimões: Light/muddy, cooler (~22°C) & faster flowing (~4-6km/hr).
    Pretty neat to see.    Read more
