My first impression of Belem as
we drove through the streets of the
city from the air ba«e to the Grande
Hotel was that it was much cleaner
than most Brazilian cities, at least
the ones I have seen in the Amazon
Valley, and also that it had the air
of a much larger city and the build-
ings were quite metropolitan in ap-
t ( arance. The streets and sidewalks
in this section were wide and beauti
ful oyal Balms lined some of the
letter streets while trees of heavy
foliage similar to the umbrella trees
but much taller, lined with the side
walks of others. The streetcars were
of a more recent "vintage" than the

eight months in Manaus and appear-
