First Impressions of Brazil

Sep 28, 2006 - Nov 16, 2006
My mom and I were on separate flights back to the US, so she boarded a flight to Dallas while I waited for my flight to Miami. The CCS house manager in Salvador told me there were medical centers at all of the airports in Brazil where I could possibly get my third vaccination. I had to get it on the 15th and it would be too late in the day to get it once I got back to California. I had a three hour layover in Sao Paulo, and it was officially the 15th when I got there, so I wandered arou...

had a great time in brasil -- i particularly LOVED bahia - i.e., salvador, morro and boipeba.  i will most definitely miss the people - both tourists and locals - the weather and wearing flip flops day in and day out. the bus ride from buzios to rio was uneventful.  a cab driver from the bus station to the airport tried to rip me off by putting the meter on flag 2 -- when it was still daylight.  i said, hell no! as my plane woes go, my flight from rio to dc was delayed...

Just a quick layover in Sao Paulo ;)

I'm aware I can't say I visited Sao Paulo, because I didn't even leave the airport. But at least I put my feet outside the airport, hahaha. My boss wanted to smoke and because it's forbidden doing it inside the buildings, we had to step outside ;) After almost 3hrs flying, we arrived to Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo is 1 hour ahead from Santa Cruz. Because we were changing airlines, we had to claim our bags and go to the counter. It was my first direct contact with Portuguese - besides the TV - ...

Day 2 - Rio Baby!

As we were enjoying our last breakfast at Pousada Evelina I heard two loud 'thuds' hitting the glass. Jody was sitting across from me facing the windows and had seen two doves hit the window at full speed. I got up and rushed over to the open window to take a look. There it was.... Poor little thing had obviously broken it's neck. R.I.P. my little feathered friend. *sniff-sniff* There was no sign of the other one. After breakfast we were off to the airport. I'll be heading home in...

Enter Brazil

Jun 08, 2007 - Mar 05, 2008
So excluding airfare to and from the north, i've set aside roughly R$7000 for the trip (according to my most recent calculations); somewhere between US$3k-4k, toward the lower end of the spectrum.given that i'm going to be travelling during the high season, new years in a party town, and carnival at a party, the question is of course: will dave's money last? i might end up finding that i need to pick up a job on the road. if i'm lucky, maybe i'll run into some rich tourists going somwehre coo...

Cool and rainy day kept me from enjoying one final beach day in Rio.  That is ok, because in a few days i will be in the Greek isles. Took a bus to the airport from a street close to the hostel.  This was actually kind of difficult, because the buses came at you pretty fast, and if you didnt wave them down, the bus would pass you by.  Since the buses only came every 30 minutes for the airport, it was pretty important to catch the bus.  I finally found one, and of course i...

i was invited to celebrate chrismas with the families of my friends, so i headed back to sao paulo, but this time i stayed at a hostel, because my friends went to curitiba, like the moment i came from there, well nevermind the HI hostel praca das arvores was just round the corner of my friends place, so i knew the surroundings quite well! that hostel was very cool, the people who "worked" there were awsome! and i met my kansas friend who i got to know 1month ago, that was cool! we had ...

I put this entry off too long and now I cant remember the details.  We went snorkelling down a river that was really clear and Pokey was born.

WHERE MUSIC AND PASSION ARE ALWAYS IN FASHION I arrived in Rio at Noon which gave me about 11 more hours to kill in Brasil.  Where to?  Copacabana, of course.  I had hoped to meet up with couchsurfers Antonio or Cecilia, but that did not work out.  I never did get my cell phone working there.  As it turned out, it was a nice day to just kick back on your backpack on the beach.  I would say the air temperature was about mid 70s and there was a slightly warm breez...
