The 'cul-de-sac' where our boat anchored overnight
Breakfast
Explaining how manioc is harvested
Watching the process of grinding the manioc root. We learned that a few drops of manioc juice had enough cyanide to kill a buffalo so the poison has to be carefully removed
Making tapioca pancakes
Gabriel's family grows many acai trees
An acai plantation
Acai berries at the top of the tree
Back on the boat for lunch
A dog that had wandered a bit far from its home
We rescued it and fed it lots of leftovers which it devoured hungrily
The handicraft workshop in Acajatuba village
They collect acai berries and dry them for making crafts

We invited the local school kids to join us in a friendly futbol match
The kids were SO good, while playing barefoot!
EC did us proud . The kids however won 4-2.
Getting ready to turn in for the night. Our last night in hammocks.
