Manaus

I ate some really weird looking fruits that I bought from a vender on the street. One looked like a hairy strawberry adn the other was green on the outside and orange on the inside and tasted a little like pumpkin. I really enjoyed them both. The city is pretty nifty too. :O)

Frontier town, port on the Amazon River, no place like it, well worth seeing, especially the architecture, it is a place of history, rain forests, nature, and the unequaled amazon river. I lived here between the ages of 11 and 13, this is where I became a woman, and almost died of Malaria and Hepatitis (but I survived) deep in the amazon, at the mining camp my adopted mother owned with her partner. Sadly I’ve lost all pictures of when I was here, the only one I have is at the house sitting in the garden, which I’ve added to this post.

Great place, with a beautiful arquitecture. The buildings are old, it’s nice to see time on them.

Manaus is a unique place and you need at least 4 days before you begin your exploring to the Amazon forest. I had a great time there…

Spent four days in this city – the Hotel Tropical is good. Great food in the city – the Opera House; trip down the Amazon are great.
