I am in Rio de Janeiro, a.k.a the marvellous city! It is carnival time, and yes, it does worth being here.
I cannot sit tight and write everything I have done here in two days, you need to wait until I go back to boring Montevideo! Just to give you an idea:
-I am staying with my dear friend Conner´s friend Stephen´s awesome beachfront penthouse in Copacabana Beach. Hanging out with him and his friend Ricardo, a great carioca who knows everyting--and as Stephen puts it, "whatever he does not know, he makes up!" (the above picture is the view from his terrace)
-An 8 hour walking tour of the center of the town, seeing all the cultural centers, museums, tiny streets, even Carmen Miranda´s house, etc.
- Getting a brazilian bikini wax (the best waxing experience in my life!)
- Shopping for shoes! (they are so cheap and kitch/tacky, everybody wears platforms in this city)
- Admiring the mosaic sidewalks--they had it for more than a hundred years! and beautiful euro-latin architecture, happy, helpful and beautiful people, amazing beaches, flora and fauna, etc etc etc
I think by far this is the most beauitful Latin American city I have visited!
