Manaus

December 3

We arrived in Manaus today and spent the day on
board. Foster spent most of the afternoon
watching boats being loaded to deliver good
along the rivers. From early to late all sizes
of trucks are lined up and coming to dock to load
all kinds of provisions. These boats are also
used as transportation. People have to get to
boat early to get a good spot to hang their
hammock. It was fascinating to watch.
This is certainly a different way of life.

Tonight we went to the opera house for
an autistic show of jungle sounds.

I had heard about this elegant opera house in the
middle of the jungle. The building was beautiful
and the show was very good.
