Hotel da Praca Trancoso

... the place. Before I go on to try to describe my days and lest any think my life is easy I must relate some of the disadvantages. Things are big and some of them bite. My ankles were like a mosquito buffet for two days in Brasilia and last night I pulled an ant out from under my shirt who was big enough to hold on quite tenaciously with his face. As no doubt did many a former reddest man in Brasil I thought the sun would be fine for ...

... met some great people along the way. Our hot rasta waitor at the halfway beach restaurant...a family from chile, argentinian girls. We also loved looking at all the HOT men walking by....some very beautiful people in Brazil... Got off the beach just after sunset again and spent the night having dinner with our roomates and talking with our Argentinian neighbors (4 guys) who were singing playing the guitar and singing for us. Lots of laughs.

... pizza is left all by himself. I am dying. Everyone else is completely ghost and he´s just going from pizza to pizza tossing into his mouth whatever wasn´t eaten. Reminds me of Spalding in Caddy Shack going around the country club just jacking drinks down his gullet as fast as possible. I´m just waiting for this guy to run over to a mule wagon and puke all over the seat. I have to take a boat to this club, which I find odd but cool. I buy a couple ...

... field work. If I do get sent back for this job, Jacqui will quit her job and we'll start our life of traveling TOGETHER finally!! I just got word back from my office that her new passport(she had not yet gotten around to getting hers updated after we got married) with a 5-yr Brazilian tourist visa arrived. So now we are set to go. Now just to convince my ...

... then looks ok after that.I want to dispel some rumors going around that in sao paulo and rio de jeneiro are unsafe and i u well get killed or robbed im not going to say it wont happen i myself saw some wild stuff on the first night in rio ( which i may add was in ipenema the rich suburb ) but i never felt unsafe and everyone i met was very freindly just take a couple of precuations and u ...

... in fact the trip is quite long - about eighteen hours. Still, I pointed out to Sandra that since it was overnight and we´d be asleep for eight hours, that the trip was, in fact, only ten hours long. The logic was irrefutable. We duly arrived at the bus station in Centro, Rio de Janeiro at about six o´clock at night. On the security front this was, in my opinion, our first little test. This area was not Ipanema and it´s my experience that ...

... chance to dance (if you wanna call it that) with the locals in 2 step style and witness one of the most famous Brazilian Forro musicians perform live in a local club. Most of our afternoons were spent on the beach below playing in the waves, adapting ourselves to the hot sun, reading under shade ...

... but managed to find nine, each one serving up one grande pop. In every bar we'd take a photo, and keep track of how many beers we'd had total; needless to say we were all fairly skited by the end, in true Sunday Sesh - Domingo de Farra style. We met some funny characters while we were out, including the two rival bar men who spent half an hour slagging each other for being gay - understood very little of the words exchanged but the hand signals told the ...

... wasnt to bad! My first impressions of brazil are much different than i expected. i was told (even by Brazilians at the airport!) that Salvador was very dodgy, but i haven't run into any problems as yet, except for some kid swearing at me and avoiding the crazy drivers while crossing the road that is. The apartment is very nice, but i soon found that Brazilians are not to concerned about safety around the home (see pics) as my first ...
