It´s been going ok, I think I´m finally getting tired of moving around...so I´m looking forward to getting to Bolivia tomorrow and taking it easy. Money goes by fast! Especially in a place like Brazil, so I was only in Rio de Janeiro for a week, which was not my plan. I really wanted to go to the north to see more of the Afro Brazilian culture and learn more about Condomble but with all these transportation costs, I just had to make the decision and head to Bolivia sooner than I thought...so I´m not sure that a capiriña buzz (Brazilian sugar cane liquor drink) and a few Carioca (Rio locals) nalga sightings quite justify a trip to Brazil, nope, I´ll definitely have to come back...sadly, it was a cloudy day when I went to pay a visit to buddy Jesus...
...but I did get to see him the following day, with a beautiful sight of the city from the Pan de Azucar mountain.
Ipanema Beach
I´ve also loved some of the graffitti art on the walls, it´s pretty hard to miss when it seems to be almost every where.
"To acuse is easy, to understand it´s difficult, to abandon, is (my interpretation) worthless"...left me with a lot to think about...
Next I stopped in Puerto Iguazu, on the Argentinian side and oh my goodness, those waterfalls were incredible, I´m not sure how to even describe the sound and that energy that comes from all that water! It was such a beautiful park, and I was completely wiped out by the end of the day from walking and swimming.
I´m on a bus terminal now headed for Salta, Argentina, to make my way to Santa Cruz en Bolivia. Ah! Picture below is with Sasha and Netali from Israel (I met them in Thailand). They were so, so cool, down to earth, super hospitable and I enjoyed every minute of hanging out with them. It was nice to relax for a week and stare out into the Red Sea.
