Hello!! I'm back from this amaaaazing trip to South America. I visited Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Everything was really beautiful and it couldn't possibly had gotten any better. For those who haven't gone, you really should. For those who are there, I am seriously planning to go back again so beware!!
Wehn I first arrived in Brazil it was Marcelo who picked me up and gave me a tour around Sao Paulo, his city Mogi das Cruces. Here we are with the award-winning picture. You can see he's getting really thin.
Then we have here his city, Mogi das Cruces. Small, but very nice and he lives in a really great apartment. I am looking at his city from a nearby mountain.
I am glad to tell you that this boquetero is deeply in love, here we have him with his girlfriend, when they both, his brother and wife and me went to a really nice beach mogi.
If you doubt how nice that beach is, here's the pic. The beach is to the left and to the reight there's a river that flows to the sea... beautiful, ain't it?
And i found these there. My first beach in Brazil and a warm welcome!!
We went bowling. My style is ugly, look at it. No elegance whatsoever.
But Marcelo's style is a complete disaster! Everytime he shooted, he almost fell down to the floor. Laughs guaranteed.
However, he won everytime (it was because he made us laugh so hard we couldn't concentrate) and I was like 3rd or 4th. Here's the score. Marcelo is MAR, I am BOQ (Don't ask).
After a few days he decided to shave and he looks a bit younger. However, we both look older now. :(
Then I went to Rio de Janeiro and met Ivan there. Rio is vibrant and perfect for pictures. Is one of th most "picturables" cities in South America, really. Here we are behind Sugar Loaf, the world's most pictured mountain. We are found in front of Corcovado mountain, where the biggest Jesus statue in the world is found, to the left we have the biggest soccer stadium in the world and to the right the biggest favela in the world, too. All this "biggest, strongest, hardest" stats were provided exclusively by Ivan and he bears all responsibility.
Did you know Ivan has a twin brother?? I didn't, and well, they are very alike. Only Marcelo is a little bit fatter. But really funny and friendly too. He works for Petrobras in Rio de Janeiro. There you go, guess: Are the names correct or not?
Ivan and I went together to Curitiba. If you can, travel with Ivan beacuse he is very funny and patient. But at all cost, avoid travelling with him overnight in a bus. He snorts like fucking truck with the exhaust opened.
Ok, we got to Curitiba and there were Caren and Cinthia waiting for us. Curitiba is a really beautiful city and the girls treated us like kings. Then, Anelise arrived too to make the Rifat gathering more complete. There are the girls!
And, picture for the record:
I really had a wonderful time in South America. I am seriously planning to go back one day, i don't know when. But it is a very big and beautiful place to just go for a few days. I hope everyone can go too. Of course, you're invited to Mexico anytime you want. My house is your house.
Thanks to all!!
