Easter Weekend
... it pours. In an attempt to keep cameras and cell phones dry (not mine since I saw the rain coming) we made a run for it back to the bar where we could dry off and wait for the rain to pass. Once the rain was gone the sun came back out and dried everything off. I set up my hammock and kicked back in the island breeze. All the bars are run by people who live either at the bar or just a short walk away from them. This bar was ours, there was no one else around ...

Right near the dock of course is the local fish market and further on the larger market. This market is bustling with activity. ...
Jungle in a city in a jungle
... but exceptions they are. We headed back to the market of the awkward band bar situation but this time during the day. There we saw a museum traditional culture, featuring photos, instruments and other artifacts from amazonian people.
