We went to the Bosque on Christmas Eve Eve (the central park of Belem) and this rad structure was there, nice and safe huh!
Our friend, Joice, and a traditional Amazonian feast called Tucupi. 
A day spent at the beach on the Amazon. No, this is not the ocean, its fresh, or "sweet" water.
Time for some sweat relief, with a reward!
YEAH!!!! I found tofu at the store. Comes in a huge bag that is full of water, simliar to the bag of water and air you would get with a goldfish in it. I made my favorite smoothies with it. Its not silken, but it works!
Banana Fudge Smoothie
1/2 c. tofu (silken)
1 1/4 c. milk
3 frozen bananas
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 T. honey
(and today I put a big ol' glob of natural peanut butter in there too...hmmm)
Put all in a blender and blend away till smooth.
A common chore, washing the fans down. They get a load of dirt/dust/ash in there within weeks.
Each Christmas, I make something for the boys. Usually, on the sewing machine, but this year, I stuck with paper and glue. These are little notebooks, decorated and covered with packing tape.
Yes, mid January and look..Christmas presents:) And the gift goes on! Notice the new necklace from my boys...I love it! And thanks for the tank Shi!
