Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

At the Copa, Copacabana...

Ever since arriving in Rio I haven´t been able to get that damn Barry Manilow song out of my head. I thought they´d be playing it everywhere, but for some reason it´s all samba and rumba. Unbelievable! Anyway, Rio is a naturally beautiful city with its mountains and beaches, but there´s been...

Esperar

In both Spanish and Portuguese, "esperar" means both to wait and to hope. I heard today that the same is true in Hebrew. One word with both meanings. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans...

New stage

Another rainy day in Rio and I'm at the computer making contacts and preparing for the next stage of my life, now that my financial resources for this journey are just about depleted. There is a lot of good work I could do but no funds to do it. In this fallen world, the economic system does...

vacation from vacation

A small historic town that lies so close to the sea. Filled with the magic of this great brazilian culture but with the touch of an ancient history, but not so ancient. The very idea of getting there was already pure relax. But I couldn't put my finger on it. And a friend on the Hostel in...

New language frontier

Left behind most of the warm clothes I bought in Quito, and arrived in Rio last night. Trying to adjust to the much higher cost of living and new language here. Feels like I've jumped in the deep end and now need to learn to swim. I'm buying a little time by staying at a hostel where some of...

Rio Carnival

We touched down in Rio still with our fourth member, Alex, who booked onto the flight at midnight the night before after many tequilas. We soon realised after our first night out that the next few days were going to be absolute madness. Everywhere you walk there was a street party or beach party...
