All kinds of people from all different walks of life came out for a Big Massive Protest in Brasilia, Brazil the other day. It was like a Carnival like atmosphere with Clowns, Popcorn and Beer. As of late, no arrest were made and Damage to property was minimal as far as I could tell.

An exciting day today in the capital city of Brasilia, Brazil. About 100,000 people took to the streets to protests the deep corruption of the politicians in Brazil. I think in most countries around the world the general population is fed up with their politician. It just seems like it hard to find honest people to run for government offices these days as a result the people suffer under high taxes unemployment and and a system that's broken.

Walking Tour

I think there's a Business Opportunity Here

Beware of Quick Sand

While walking around the bustling metropolis the town of Soure, in Ilha Marajo, Brazil, I came across this old abandon building and wonder what the history of it might be. Why would a building on prime property be abandon? I could only image. Lots of scenarios went through my head. But for now it'll be a mystery until I return to Soure. So, as I continued my walking tour I came across this boat and decided to move in closer for some better photos. Big mistake. As started walking across the muddy path along the river I started sinking and I mean sinking fast. I though I was in quick sand and was wondering how to get out of this mess. The faster I tried to move with each step the deeper I sank. Finally after several minutes of struggling in the the sinking mud I managed to escape with camera in hand and totally forgot about the close up photos of the boat.

You Don't See this Everyday

Well,  I must admit, while walking along the mostly dirt streets of the town of Soure, on Ilha Marajo, Brazil, I came across a Horse with her young colt feeding on the front lawn of a house. I try to pet the colt but she would have nothing to do with me. And further down the road by the river I came across this School Bus Boat. First one I've ever seen.

As the Sunsets in Ilha Marajo

Early Evening on a Lonely Trial as the Sun Begins to Set

I guess you could call it an Amazonian Sunset

What a great way to finish a leisurely walk through the Amazon Region of Brazil, than to watch the sunset slowly in this peaceful part of the world. I personally enjoy being out in nature and Brazil, has a lot to offer when it come to nature or as I like to call the "The Handy Work of God." I've only scratched the surface and hope to Lord willing document some more of it.

Walking Around Ilha Marajo

Low Tide at Barra Velha Beach Ilha Marajo, Brazil 

One day I decide to walk to the river beach at Ilha Marajo. Good idea I thought. I was told it was only 3Km to the beach. I think it was actual more like 6km.

The Waves Were Pretty Strong at this Beach

That's okay, It was an interesting walk. I got to make friends and influence people along the way.

Children of Marajo Island

Three Happy Kids

Well,  I don't remember their names but they were more than happy to have their photo taken by me. When I ask them if  I could photograph them they came running over to me all smiles. They might not have a lot of  material things like other kids in more develop parts of the world but they sure are happy kids.
