Day 4 - Sunday March 6

The day started like all other days, early. I enjoyed coffee and then prepared for another long day on the water. We started by visiting a village. The village is not what I would call the most authentic but it was educational anyways. Random animals could be seen around and at one point someone said they saw a sloth. Was this true? I cannot verify. The best part was that we had a discussion with the local medicine man. I purchased some roots that will supposedly help with cramps. I have yet to try it but I post when it works! (I hope it works!) 

This was the day we transferred to the boat guided by members of Ray of Hope. The boat was two stories with the kitchen and dining space in the bottom and open seating on the top. We had the best tour guides. The guides not only provided us with authentic Brazilian food and information, but they also had access to communities that would have been unavailable to us otherwise. We were able to visit communities and have interactions with kids that were so genuine. Probably some of my favorite moments came from this. 

One of the best parts about staying on the boat was that were were able to sleep in hammocks!
