Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil
Way back in our early dating days- when she still saw me as a dashing Indiana Jones type and she was only a part time Princess- DH agreed to follow me into the Amazon river system presumably in the hopes that I might get all buffed and wrestle an Anaconda for her. After finding a guide whose only English came from song titles, picking up a dugout canoe with a minimum number of leaks, portaging through the grimiest oil town ever, and surviving a gunfight at a jungle saloon, we did spend a couple of weeks on the river dodging piranhas and caimans, and sleeping on bamboo platforms with local families. An all-too-real Amazonian experience with great memories. Twenty years later we're back on the Amazon, heading in the opposite direction aboard a floating city, and DH is clearly betting on the Anaconda this time around.
There's absolutely no doubt about it- the Amazon is one of the world's great natural WOWs:

Wonderful commentary. It appears that all of the persons in this Festival's feminine garb are actually women! If there were any trannies involved they are certainly more attractive than the brawny, mustached 'girls' of Rio.
