  • Now that the beach is empty and the traffic is gone I'll get to fall asleep to the sounds of the surf. Ahhhhh. #
  • Day one done in Rio. That sure was, um, interesting? This is gonna be fun. (Warning: Fun may not include actual fun.) #
  • Picked up some banana strudel from the bakery down the street. OMG, where have you been my whole life? #
  • I found where I'll be camped most nights. The small bar/cafe down the street has wifi. Beer and internet. Good enough. #
  • Tony the Tiger's evil Brazilian cousin. http://twitpic.com/2bkg2m #
  • It is weird to look at my schedule and see zero plane or hotel reservations. #
  • 72 degrees in Rio and every student in my class is wearing a sweater or jacket. Lightweights. #
  • Just rode past the Land Rover dealer here in Rio. It's physically painful to see a brand new 110 Hi-Cap on the lot and know I can't have one #
  • A little something to drink while waiting on some tasty Brazilian prime rib. http://twitpic.com/2bmgui #

    Suckier: Bank in the US is closed until Monday.
    Suckiest: Stuck in hotel all weekend. #
  • Mission successful. Spoon acquired. Commence puddification. #

  • Wanna be frustrated, Rover buddies? Check out this pic from Rio. http://twitpic.com/2cilt7 #
  • Stuck in hotel room all weekend due to credit card company bullshit. I can't leave the hotel as you need cash to move around this shithole. #
  • I have become comfortably numb. #
  • Send lawyers, guns, and money. The shit has hit the fan. #
  • I don't know why Frodo had so much trouble getting past this gate. Couldn't he just walk under it? http://twitpic.com/2cl39z #
