Since Santarem is a city of over 300,000, we did not go to the city center. Found out from others that it is no big deal. So we went ashore just near the ship. And, no bugs or anything like that at the dock. Tomorrow may be different as we are going to a small village.
First thing we saw whe we went ashore was this boat loading passengers and fruit. The fruit was plantains, and papaya and potatoes. The passengers didn’t sit on seats, they hung in hammocks. I don’t know how long a trip they are taking, since most had coolers with them.
There was a small bunch of craft stands near the ship. We went there and had to buy a piranha. They cost either 2, 3, 4 or 5 dollars. Those prices were right next to each other. I even bought some earrings with fish on them. Real dried fish.
And, no, we did not go swimming with the fishes.
