'Full-ometer'

This little gadget is a dial (green=still hungry / red=full) that sits
on your table & signals to the meat servers if you want them to keep
offering you meat. Isn't that great - simple but effective. :)

Buffet style

Meat @ buffets is commonly served as shown - service @ table
W/ all meats: every part of a cow including loins, heart, ribs, you
name it. Special forks to grab the falling meat. They run to ea table
offering. Amazing!

Hmmmmmm ?

Guess what this is (hint: mcgyver)

Update

We have been off the grid regarding any phone email services. We have
many great pictures to share (taken with the good camera and not the
iPhone) but won't be able to share those until much later. Boat back
near Manaus. Heading up river to visit some kind of old style rubber
production place. Then a special dinner and entertainment tonight. We
get off boat early tomorrow morning and will be on a day long personal
tour of Manaus. Then stay over night and fly to Rio tomorrow. Diane is
drafted a long series of notes to send when we have the time and a
stable Internet connection.

Cruise and the Amazon have been amazing.
