We left Manaus, Brazil yeaterday about 5:30 in the afternoon. We will write more tomorrow about a service visit we did to an orphanage in Manaus.
Tonight (1-28-11) 29 of us had a special dinner. We started with Champagne and assorted canapes, fried wanton and spring rolls. Linda and I opened a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa along with a traditional Caesar salad followed by a creamy risotto with fresh vegitable threads and pesto jus. We had an orange sorbet to cleanse the palate before the entree. Linda had the roasted beef tenderloin rare with creamy mushroom sauce, gratin potatoes and vegitables. I had a Priaucu filet, an amazonian fish, marinated and pan fried with a creamy butter sauce. For desert we had cherries jubilee....ummmmm!!
We are still on the Amazon, we clear customs in Macapa and should be starting our trans Atlantic crossing heading Takoradi, Ghana tomorrow night. For those who don't do well in foul weather, I an hoping for smooth seas. I'll let you know.
I wish I could post pics, but the internet is slow as molasses.
Ciao....Tom
