Teatro Amazonas - Manaus - Brasil

Opened in 1896, the Teatro Amazonas opera house symbolizes the opulence of the Manaus of old. It was designed in eclectic neoclassical style by engineers from Lisbon and a team of interior designers at the height of the rubber boom. Most of the artists and materials (Italian marble and glass, Scottish cast iron) came from Europe.

These guys were just waiting for money before loading in the bike into the boat, unfortunately they got nothing and still put my bike in.

Welcome to Hammock world!

This kid was the boat DJ, he had a small radio with only a few songs... 6 days of REPEAT!

A narrow part of the amazon river.

Some are lucky with motor power boats.

Kids would come next to the boat and hang off the side tires for a ride.

Some people would come and hook up on the boat at fairly high speed. Tie their boats and come on board to sell shrimps.

Not everyone with a pimp canoe.

Another loaded boat cruising by.
