rain

it has been an uneventfull last few days. Really nothing to do but get soaked. It has been raining in salvador non stop, really it stop for 20 min then begins to rain. it is actually kinda depressing. Juan and i spent all day yesterday taking the bus from our hostel to the airport 1.5 hours there and 1.5 back to change our flight to leave sunday as opposed to the following thurs. We saw another side of Brasil with that bus ride the poverety is just depressing, the housing is nasty, but in true brasilian fashion the people are smiling. so for today we will atttempt to go the the afro brasilian museum, then the baile folkloric in the evening. As for the night it gets dark at 5pm wtf. cia for now.

Really bad way to start the day, some a hole from the internet cafe gets into my blogger/facebook and email accoutns. please disrgard some the the ealier post, what a prick.
Last the few days have been quite bad, raining and cold, but now we finally made it to Salvador. Here is where afro brasilian culutre thrives. Waiting for our rooms to be ready here in our new hostel. Its really chill with a lot of nice laid back cool people. Everything is a lot slower then rio, and its blazing hot. Juan and I are pretty beat from getting up for our 6am early flight to Salvador. Ciao for now.

Day 3

BLAH BLAH it sunday and getting reay to head to coppacabbana for the world cup final. There is a massive tv in the middle of the beach and everyone is happy. Game sucked ass and fckin spain won.
met our new roomates, nick and our new roomates natalia, a columbian american couple from new york in there late 20s traveling for 3 months. They invite us to a locals party. the party was amazing. really cool good people.

Day 2

Get up pretty early head out to Ipananma with my camera, nothing really planned for this saturday. I get offered some really nasty chips. the food done here is really that good here.

Goin back home i picked up this Acai drink that is simply amazing, and really cheap. Meet ths guy felipe. Felipe has a achived "legend" status in juans and my eyes. He is a graphic designer from sao paulo. He is a very well spoken and engaging hippie with a thurst of knowing everything. Its funny because everyone is drawn to him and really cant figure out why???? actually we do he is a just a good/cool person.

So the evening is fastly approaching and we are making plans for the evening. Lapa is in the old city center of rio and only carioca ( inhabitants of Rio ) go. OMG its if flippin amazing street partys in the middle of the streets, people strolling down the street eating drinking and dancing. Its hard to explain there is just an energy night.

Days 1 in Brasil

So we finally flew into Rio worry free. We got husseled as soon as we touched down in Brasilian soil. We got charged 45 Real per person for the cab ride into Leblon ( 1hr cab ride from the airport). We should have been charged that for the entire ride, not per person....Dooooh.
Our roomates 2 Australian brother on vacation. 1 Brasilian ( Paulista ) and 1 Italian. All good guys with great stories. more to them in a minute. So we walk 3 miles and about 2 hrs down the famous beaches of Leblon, Imapnaema and finally Coppacobbana to get to a travel agencey to buy the tix for our fligth 2hr flight to Salvador de Bahia mind you i am going on about 26 hrs of no sleep. Cmon a 6 foot 2 guy in between 2 other people on a small crammed plane. Sleepin is not gonna happen. So we sit down and an older brasilian gentlman takes care of us. After about 45 min of arraging the days and time of your flight, he then proceeds to tell me its cash only. DOOOOH. So anther 2 hr walk back home. Not complaing nice walk, nice exerice, nice tan, but still a two hr walk with the sun beating down on you. Oh did I fail to mention that since we are in the southern hemisphere (hence winter time) it get dark here at 5 pm. WTF. Ok FML we failed to look at the minor issu but wtf i would take this winter any day over a chicago winter. So our day was pretty much over. Went and got some dinner with juan. He took a nap and i decided it would be a nice evening for a run down the beaches of leblon, impanema, anc cobacabban. So after the wonderful 5.5 mile/ 1hr run i as exhausasted , Juan and i walk around the city and covered a lot of interesting topics, ranging from books, travels, and life ambitions. We preceded to fall asleep in 1pm in Rio de Janerio our first night. Not the begining i was hoping for, but you roll with the punches. That endds day 1. peace.

BRASIL

So the day is here Im on 3.5 hrs of sleep, have all my bags packed and im ready to go on my trip to Brasil. One problem though, i decided to go to work. So im here at Northwestern with 2 bags for a 3 wk journey. UGH.... So as soon as i get off (Hopefully at 1pm), im on the bus, then the blue line train to meet up with JUANZI at Ohare for our 4:30pm flight to Rio.

So what is our inteneriray? Um none. The only thing planned about this trip is our first 3 nights in our hostel in Rio. The rest of the trip is up in the air. Still trying to figure out if thats a good or bad thing. Im leaning towards good. Nothing better then getting off a plane and not knowwing a single soul and figuring out the trip on the fly.

I will be posting something everyday.
