Yes, we're still going to Rio, tomorrow. I'm aware of the recent violence we'll be extra careful. Anyway, I'll write more later. Gotta run. love, George
(Later that day)
I´m just killing a couple minutes while waiting for the bus in the Sao Paulo bus station (rodovaria = bus station). We spent 40 minutes in an urban bus to get from the Coachman house to a metro station and another 20 or so to get here. In a few minutes we´re off to the madness of Rio, though I can´t say Sao Paulo is much better. This is a big, big city that is built up so all you see are high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. Fortunately there are a lot of trees, so it´s not completely paved over. The Coachman house is indeed a refuge in the middle of the mess, it´s really nice to be there.
We should be fine in Rio. John says the police probably arrested some big drug dealer and they´re retaliating. I´m more worried about the large crowds and being distracted by the many interesting women!
I´ll tell you how it goes.
