Brazil Trip (With Pictures)

©LINT · Post by **©LINT** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 11:34 am

I have been working for a company for 4 years now. I started out on night shift in the Quality Control department. I am now a Team Leader for New Model Development and things now are getting better financially. In January, I had the opportunity to go to Manaus, Brazil for a business trip and could not pass it up.

I thought I would share some of the pictures...

Near the docks.

Another near the docks.

Six miles from Manaus, Brazil is one of the most incredible displays of nature's majesty. No matter what you've heard, nothing can fully prepare you for a trip to Meeting of the waters, the incredible place where two distinct bodies of water meet, but don't mix. Here is where they join, without losing their distinct qualities.

A view after leaving the dock area..

I have more and will update a little later.

I haven't heard of that movie; I will have to check it out.

I did see the opera house but our driver (or anyone else for that matter) didn't care much about going slow, so I don't have a picture of that.

Manaus used to be one of the richest cities in the world until the invention of synthetic rubber.

This picture is of The Alfandega Lighthouse. It was prefabricated in England and shipped brick by brick and re-erected in 1912.

Typical Brazilian Restaurant

**I look like crap here but I have jet-lag; my clothes stayed in Miami for 2 days after arriving in Brazil and I have had quite a few beers in me.

Cheers!

Well, I would have loved to see that but I was in the Amazon. If you want to see that kind of topless, pick up a recent copy of National Geographic.

I wish I could have gone to Sao Paulo, but I was stuck in the Amazon. The only Brazilian butts I saw that were attractive were at the Manaus airport and all those girls were headed back to Sao Paulo. Very nice butts!
