manaus, amazonas, brasil

manaus was an adventure. we took a bus all around the city looking for a laundry-mat. we also walked, and walked, and walked, dragging our luggage. as we were searching a mall (where we were told a laundrymat was) a nice man asked if he could help us. we told him what we were looking for and he said "i know of a perfect place, but it is far away downtown. i'll give you a ride if you want." we gratefully accepted and he drove us to the laundry-mat, giving us a tour of the city of the way, then he told us where to get the bus to get back to our hotel. we tried to give him some money as a thankyou, but he wouldn't accept it. he said to give the money to the laundress as a tip! Thank You Again!!
