Day 2

The lack of technological infrastructure in this emerging market economy led to the internet just crashing in the middle of typing a long blog post, so we are gonna make version 2 short and sweet.

Airline lost people’s bags

Got to the hotel at 5 am

At 1:30 we went on a tour of Manaus (opera house, banana market, floating dock)

After the tour, several people purchased new undergarments

Then many of us went to the local brewery/restaurant/nightclub and had dinner/drinks

Live band/dancing/beer chugging contests. A good time was had by all. Some more than others.

  1. Greg,

    Thanks for the post. I imagine the connection is probably not the best but I heard it was free at least. One of the more positive things about the hotel I guess. How do the prices for drinks compare and is there much difference in culture at the bars or restaurants then in the US?
