Belem!

First, let me apologize for not posting this sooner.  It's been a little hectic around these parts, actually I think its been a little hectic everywhere!

The 2nd destination on my last trip to Brazil was Belem, you could kind of consider this city as the entrance way to the Amazon.  It is a very busy place and everyone is constantly moving.  I flew there because to travel there by boat would have taken about 96 hours, now I like a nice boat trip but that is a little too much even for me!

Here are some pictures from the flight;




This city was amazing and there was so much to see and do.  While I was there I found out that approximately 2 million people in this city, I believe it.  Every street was packed with people and every corner had a merchant or two on it.
