First on the agenda – get money. We went to the first branch –ATM not working! At this point, we were getting very stressed – actually, long before this point! One of the bank workers sent us off with an escort to another branch –ATM not working! On the third try, we finally were able to get cash. We learned our lesson and withdrew our limit twice today.
The rest of the day we walked the downtown area, got laundry done and found an Internet café. Simao is a modern town a world apart from the mountain villages and towns we had been through. One of the customs we observed was the morning bird owner gathering. At sunrise several bird owners showed up in the central park and hung their birdcages in the tree or bushes. The birds loved it and they sang loudly and jumped up and down in their cages. It was pleasant just to sit and listen.
