IN BRAZIL

I finally made it to Brazil. It was a very long and tiring flight, but I was seated next to a couple of very nice locals that fed me all sorts of useful information. I ended up pre-buying a ticket from the Taxi company, but apparently this is sortof a bad call, because they way overcharge if you don’t have them use the meter. Anyways, not too big of a deal. He took me right up to the hostel, and a bunch of familiar faces were there.

We all decided to go to the beach, but first we stopped off to buy Speedos. Which I really wasn’t too comfortable with, but there’s safety in numbers and you gotta get an even tan, right?  Someone went up to find Nathan, and then we stood outside until the the place opened. Once we’d all bought one, we went back to the Hostel to get our towels and stuff, then back the beach, spent a couple of hours there, then headed back to the hostel.  I immediately fell asleep for like 5 hours, but woke up feeling a bit better. After that, we went to some cafe, and after figuring out what to do(totally different ordering proceedures), we finally got our water and food, and managed to pay for it and soforth.

After that, a bunch of people went to a Favela Funk Party, but I stayed behind. They definitely are a bit crazy, it’s really packed onto the side of the hills, and they do actually have the armed gaurds and stuff. I’ll have to try to get some pictures at some point, and post them here. We’ve had a pretty good night just hanging at the hostel, it already feels a bit like a new home. Anyways, I’m on a friends laptop so I’ve got to finish up real quick, but again, Hi to all my family and friends kind enough to read this post and those coming, I miss you all already!
