Frontier town, port on the Amazon River, no place like it, well worth seeing, especially the architecture, it is a place of history, rain forests, nature, and the unequaled amazon river. I lived here between the ages of 11 and 13, this is where I became a woman, and almost died of Malaria and Hepatitis (but I survived) deep in the amazon, at the mining camp my adopted mother owned with her partner. Sadly I’ve lost all pictures of when I was here, the only one I have is at the house sitting in the garden, which I’ve added to this post.
