Home»Brazil/Amazon/Rio Negro Rivers»Pink Dolphins

One of the last towns we visited is known for its boat building. Most large boats that travel the rivers were probably built here. Also the town has a unique taxi system. Check out the second photo. The taxi driver has a hemet, radio, and handles on the back of his vest for the passenger to hold on to. Also one of our group by the name of Dennis and I talked about a hostile takeover of the Denis bar in the photo. We would sell everything and move to Brazil and become bar owners. Unfortunately several pink dolphins have been exploited by the owners of a local bar/eatery. The dolphins had gotten used to being fed by the tourists/bar owner and probably have forgotten how to survive in the wild. There is also a photo of a local store. I am not sure they sell Electobras in the US.
