What should we do as a special treat in Belem?
Tomorrow will be our first day in a large city in over a month. After many weeks of living in the rainforest, eating rice and beans, bathing in the river, and moving from campsite to campsite each day we are looking forward to spoiling ourselves a little bit in Belem. There are so many things we could do to celebrate our journey. We could go to an all-you-can-eat ice cream shop, go to a movie theatre, make phone calls home to our families, shop for souvenirs, etc.
What do you think we should do as a special treat in Belem. Please be specific and explain why you think we should do each activity.
What is your favorite part of the Trans-Amazon Expedition?

I think you should eat all the ice cream you can and then call your families and tell them how wonderful it was to eat something cold. After all this time in the rainforest with no ice for your drinks or refrigeration, i bet you would really LOVE the ice cream!

We think you should go to the ice cream shop because it would be something new instead of beans and the ice cream would cool you off. Then go to the movies because you have not watched TV or the movies for awhile. Go to the clothing stores for new cloths and buy gifts for future visits. Rent a hotel room to have a good nights sleep and take a long bath. Then you could go to an all you can eat buffet.

You should find a spa that has good service, food, massage, mud baths, hot tubs,
etc. You have sore muscles and need to relax and have no worries or stress.

We think that you should treat yourself and go out for dinner or lunch at an elegant resturant. This way you can be pampered.
Shopping for new clothes might also bring you some happiness.

Explore the local markets and try interesting new foods. I am sure you are getting sick of rice and beans. ALSO, CALL HOME!

We think you should definitley eat ice cream because it would be great to get something really cold after so many weeks in the rainforest. We also think you should find a great restaurant and eat a big meal of all your favorite foods. You have been eating rice and beans for such a long time! Call home for sure because your families will want to know that you are safe.
