- I’m sad that my life in Rio is going to come to an end in less than a month. SOOOO SADDDDDDD WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
- Anyway, I went to Centro with Sara today to look for the open market. But no, it was empty as usual in the weekend-and very dangerous. But nothing happened to us. We took a taxi to Ipanema.
- We ordered food by the beach for R$20 and it was horrible. So expensive and horrible. But it was nice to sit by the beach to eat. It was cold though. And very windy.
- We walked to the Hippie Fair down the street. I bought a print for R$40 and a painting for the same price. I need to go back to buy myself a HUGE painting. I’m going to do it. It’s so cheap! The most expensive painting I have quoted so far was R$250 for a MASSIVE one. So awesome!
- I also bumped into Anton, who I met at the hostel in Santiago, Chile. SMALLL WORLLDDDD!!! If you ever need a place to stay in Santiago, stay in La Chimba hostel. It’s the place where you’ll meet people you will meet again during your travels. I had also bumped into a German couple who I met there at the Cuzco airport too (or was it the Lima airport?). I also met Tati & Renata (Cariocas) there too! iofnsjkdfnskdjf
- Okay, so we desperately needed to use the restroom, so we ran to find a place. We ended up at a suco place. We used the restroom and ordered some sucos. Mmm I had an acerola suco.
- We headed back home. On our walk back to the Siquera Campos station, we conversed in Portuguese. It was fun and educational. It was a very long walk though.
- When we got off the Gloria station, we took the Moto Taxi to Largo do Guimaraes. I LOOOVE taking the Moto Taxi!! It’s so fun to ride a motorcycle for only R$2!!! I don’t understand why other volunteers are so scared of it-it’s soooo muchhh funn!!!! We stopped by Adam & Suze’s place, but they were sleeping. We headed back home.
