Today i was so tried from last night. i came back to the room really late. even though i was so tired i still wanted to see what is in this town. I went to the countryside around macapa is like the ilha do marajo in the esturary, roamed by large herds of water buffalo. in town there is not a great deal to do. the highlight is the fortaleza de jose (daily 8am - 6pm), one of the largest colonial forts in brazil, built in 1764 out of material brought over as ballast portugese ships. There an interesting daily artisan market near by on canal da fortaleza and you could fill some more time checking out the eighteenth century igreja sao jose de macapa on the praca veiga cabral and the museu historico at av. mario cruz 17. Then i got really tired from checking out the what macapa has to offer i decided that i go to my hotel and have a few rest then i will go to this restuarants an have some dinner. which it was called the manjar das garcas and let me tell you it has excellent food. The restuarnts serves an a la carte menu, specializing in fish and seafood. Dishes include local ingredients such as the grilled tucanare with roasted palm heart in an orange sauce or the baked pescada amarela fish with a cashew nut puree. For those who pefer steak there's the filet mignon with a gorgonzola risotto or grilled beef medallions with gnocchi made from manioc flour. The desert was the best which serves wonderful pies with tropical ice cream, and you should try the chocolate cake with cupuacu coulis and tapioca ice cream. OMG i loved it the best desert ever. This restuarants was the best because i got to eat my dinner and watch the sun go down. it was so exitced for just to eat my dinner and watch the sunset. As i finish my dinner i decide to go back to the hotel and have some rest for tomorrow.
