brazil was a great trip.. everyone was really nice and fairly patient when trying to communicate in english or just hand gestures with me. the beaches were beautiful and ya, so were the women.. not to mention the delicious food. its definitely not a rich country and stories of police corruption as well as prostitution being legal in bars kind of adds to the level of not feeling like a safe place.

brazilian phonebooths require cards, not change and make interesting helmets

favela in the distance

brazilian taxi drivers were absolutely insane, though the lonely planet guide book referred to them as "raving maniacs". pedestrians beware.

santa teresa, the old rio. a beat up old trolley car stills run up the hills and im kicking myself for not getting a photo of it

capoeira

centro, rio's downtown

varig went bankrupt the week i was there and many foreigners instantly had to find a new way home.
