After returning from Acajatuba we went out to dinner in Manaus at a restaurant called Canto da Paixada which means song of the fish in Portuguese. We sampled several types of fish and desserts. The next day I headed out with my family to a place called Galleria Amazonas where we purchased several crafts such as baskets and jewlery made by Indians from the area. We also walked through several markets in the city where we looked at crafts and talked to the people working there. We also stopped by a grocery store where it was interesting to see items that I was used to such as cheetos or oreos being sold in Portuguese packages. I got dinner in the city again that night with several friends and was able to try even more kinds of fish. The next day was our last in Manaus so we visited the local cathedral which was called Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and visited the square in front of the beautiful opera house in Manaus before heading back to the ship so we could begin our trip back up the Amazon to reach the Atlantic Ocean.
