We arrived safely today in Manaus after a long plane flight from Salvador with a stop in Brasilia. Today and tonight we have been in the city of Manaus, which is very similar to the other cities that we have visited so far here in the Northeast of Brazil. We are staying in a hotel tonight before we head to our jungle hotel tomorrow morning! This afternoon we did take a tour of a famous theater here in Manaus, called Teatro Amazonas. It was a really pretty building, and the inside was nice as well. Unfortunately there weren't any performances tonight, but after dinner we did run into a band playing music outside of the theater. We sat and listened for a little, and I really enjoyed their music. The theater was lit up very nicely, which was a nice sight behind the music. Manaus seems to be a neat place, unfortunately we won't get to see too much of it, but I'm sure it won't be much compared to being in the heart of the Amazons for the next couple days.
Outside of the theater before we took our tour.
The red-carpet entrance.
The ceiling, chandelier, and upper balconies.
On the upper balcony looking down.
This was a ballroom for dancing for the wealthy people after shows.
Some typical clothing that is (or was, I'm not sure) used in plays and performances.
A statue/fountain outside of the theater in the town square.
A few group members and I on the stairs up to the theater.
The outdoor concert we went to outside of the theater tonight.
