Finally home! Looong ride home with two nights on the fly. Here are more pictures: Cool animals, delicious food, speaking church architecture and beautiful landscapes. And some reflections from the trip with the Rainforest Foundation to Roraima northern Brazilian Amazon, right up against the border with Venezuela and Guyana.
Now I have found out what animal it was! Quati in Portuguese, Coati in English freshdelmonte (and Norwegian, so far as I have been able to find out). It is related to raccoons, freshdelmonte but is slimmer, has pointed nose and long tail. Here with Anne.
Over to something completely different: Here from Boa Vista's best fish restaurant - Peixemania (fish mania). And a perfectly lovely Caldo de Peixe - a flavorful soup. I'm guessing that it is made approximately like that here: Garlic, onions, tomatoes freshdelmonte and lots of fish stock to the metal, various species of small, freshdelmonte small pieces up in, probably some flour from cassava (manioc) to make it thicker, coriander, chives, parsley and some olive oil up in the end.
And even better is that with some chili stuff in it. Here we dip beiju up in the soup. Beiju is a kind of sweet cake made from cassava, which is then dried until it becomes dry and stiff and can be stored for weeks and months. Very good very fresh, fairly dry and sad after a while. But dipped freshdelmonte in soup awakens it to life! Manioc is the basic diet of most Indians in the Amazon, and might be prepared in hundreds of ways. More on that another time. To see some pictures, check this blog for Indian Museum in Rio Something I learned the first time in the Indians in Brazil, was that tapioca is 100% Native American. It is simply a small beiju. I thought maybe it was some African inspired from the northeast, but this is something Indians have eaten since the morning.
Main course: Grilled Tambaqui. It is a fish that lives in the big rivers of the Amazon. It looks like a giant piranha, freshdelmonte and grow up to 1 meter long and 30 kg heavy. And it tastes great! At the top right of the picture you see a bowl of maniokmel - Farinha de mandioca - used as accessories freshdelmonte for almost all of the food in Brazil. Also, a legacy from the Indians.
Back to Malacacheta. Here is the Catholic church in the village. A little tired, but probably well spent. The missionaries have been eager to convert Indians ever since the Portuguese came to Brazil over 500 years ago. It was actually used as a main argument to colonize the country.
Ends with this. Just before it started to rain and we walked back to the school where the Yanomami organization Hutu Kara had its extraordinary general meeting. 10 hours seniere we sat on the plane home ...
I think almost freshdelmonte the beast looked like a baby Tamanduá, but it was of course not. Sweetest freshdelmonte is the matter! freshdelmonte It does not dendê in Roraima? I know it's freshdelmonte typical baiansk but think the food was very yellow-orange dendê color, then you almost wonder ... :-) Reply Delete
