We made another Rotary Club presentation today at lunch to the Rio Negro Club. Later in the day we visited the famous Amazon Theater (opera house) built for rubber barons during the rubber boom of the late 19th century (1896).

Day 2 - GSE Activities in Manaus
Today our GSE team visited the Emergency Medical System (EMS) center of Manaus and visited with the Municipal Secretary of Health. We will follow-up with a visit on Friday of their speed boat ambulance, which is used for the emergency response and tranport from outlying communities along the Amazon River (range of 4 hours each way - out and back). We also learned about the motorcycle emergency responders, who are able to maneuver through the city with greater agility than the other emergency vehicles... a unique approach to emergency response.
