We’re finally here in Santarém again! It took us roughly one year and a flight lasting 42 hours (and 8 stops). Not much has changed since, but the hotel has got some improvements, most noticeable is the gigantic airplane hangar-esque structure that has been erected close to the pool. After asking the staff we learned it’s for musicians gigs and not landing small aircraft.
The days we’ve spent here so far have been hectic, but it’s nice to be back. We’ve so far had the time to visit the university of Santarém and gone on a shorter boat ride on the Amazonas river. Today we’re going to the local shopping center to see a movie with Marcío and his family, and during the following days work with the ceramics from last year’s excavation in the project. Before we tell you about that, enjoy these pictures:
