BRASIL
I have only one complaint. The napkins. Brasil must get their napkins whole sale from some generic distributor. It's as if they're made of wax paper. Wax paper is not absorbant.
Everything else was great. And Charles was a highlight. Charles is a geologist. Charles is small and scared of...most everything, avoid! avoid! avoid! is his mantra, he sprinkles it liberally over most sentances and especially in referance to street vendors, scantaly clad women, his government, and speaking Portugese. Charles was the man Lev met on the Bolivian salt flats and Charles was the man who took us through the cities of Paraty (pronounced Parachi) and Rio (pronounced Hio).
Highlights of my trip in no particular order.
1) The friendly TAM Air agent who insited I take vouchers for a hotel room and food in compensation for a 12 hour delayed flight. She was very pretty. I took the vouchers but slept in the airport and didn't eat.
2) The Churrascaria we finally found in Ipanema. All the meat you could ever eat.
3) Our "home-cooked" meal in Florianopolis. We somehow bought baking soda instead of salt and corriander instead of black peper. It was a delicious pasta dinner.
4) Guarana. The most best soft drink on planet Earth
5) Conversations about movies, business, ethics, women and food with Lev, Sam and Garett
6) The Brazilian healthcare system. IT'S FREE!!
7) A class of Argentinian school girls visiting Iguazu Falls the same day we did. Proof that not only there is a god but he's very horny.
