[Photos have captions] I got into Manaus, the capital of Brazil's Amazonia Friday. The feeling I got was like no other. This is where nature clashes with man. A city of two million surrounded by an area three times the size of Iran and only accessible through a vast river system from the Atlantic ocean. Yesterday I took a boat tour. I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe I was in the Amazon!
