  • I am glad that our militery forces have excellent taste, right in the entrance of Pista Claudio Coutinho in Praia vermelha I found this militery jeep and it is a LAND ROVER!!!

    Sure they do have good taste and lots of money to afford the fuel!;)

    England should know about it...

  • It is one of the most interesting places to go in Rio, you will see different faces, different costuns of people who one day came to Rio seeking for a better life, and in this place they can live their own traditions and buy their own food!

    The Feira do Nordeste is a big market for the people!

    And my friend elton could feel how we really live.

    Rio has different levels of way of living, and this is where regular people in our suburbs go and have fun!

  • The Cachaça...you pronounce kashassa...

    Yes it is a strong spirit, I love drinking it before the emal, it seems that this water that birds do not drink, goes into your body opening space for loads of food!

    But Cachaça now is finally recognized as a brazilian national drink!

    And if you know how to drin k, you should try it!

    Here I was drinking a very strong Cachaça called MARIBONDO, the same I gave to 2 friends of mine in Montreal and Toronto!

  • Elton and i were in front of the first Royal Palace made in Latin America in 1756, in the neighborhood of São Cristovão. Of course we were speaking in english which called the attention of a group of children, and we had a blast. Children are very frank and one of them ask us if fat people in the States should pay tolls????

    IS HE WRITE???????
