We got a little tour of Manaus on our last day in Brazil. Phil and Cindy took us around town to run errands and see the market. We had a great time with them. They are fun and gracious hosts.
Tons and tons of bananas at the market. Not like the bananas in the US. I just bought bananas here on Friday and they were pristinely yellow. Didn't see one banana like that in Brazil.

Uncle Phil and Aunt Cindy (or Grandpa and Grandma) helping Keith find some Havaianas to wear...they are basically the required footwear (if you choose to wear footwear) at PQQ.
The Rio Negro in Manaus. This was right next to the market. You just park your boat and come right up to the market.
..the worst smelling place we went. Cindy bought some pirarucu (pee da doo koo)here.
Cindy buying some veg.
Somebody worked really hard to stack these carrots just right.
This is a fancy digital touch screen menu at the restaurant we ate at in town. Phil and Cindy had pirarucu. Keith had parmesean beef, I had grilled cheese and french fries, and Todd and Megan had pizza. Poor Seth felt so bad he didn't want to eat anything. He just drank a guarana (gwa de na) soda.
I like all the colors in the market place. The buildings and the food. Neat how they leave the bananas on the brach. Do you have to buy the whole branch?
ReplyDeleteHolly, I have so enjoyed reading all your Brazil posts and seeing all the pictures. Can't wait to sit down with a cup of coffee and hear every single detail! :)
