day 3- pobre jorge!

Let me just begin by saying that we are drinking 51 out of coconuts because we are too cheap to buy drinks in this quase european city, and are com saudades for the fruitas em belem.
Lets back track a little to our first struggle, which actually had nothing to do with ellis and I, but George in fact! After struggling at the airport for hours, almost falling aslep, we went to check in at midnight and George´s reservation did not exist. Turns out his flight left while we were doing warm and fuzzies by the campfire, and he was 24 hours late checking in. Those were some pretty expensive warm and fuzzies. Despite this setback, we worked it out and George did not have to go solzinho.

Arrived in Rio at six in the morning and when we got to our hostel, found out that everyone speaks english and we ended up speaking in Portuguese so people couldn´t understand us....ironic and a little depressing.
Rio is absoluely gorgeous, the beaches are incredibly clean, the water is blue green , the public transportation functions, and we have yet to see a man hole or get splattered in street juices. Despite these things, we are com saudades de Belem e voces.
Bullet point reasons why George might want to kill himself for not going solzinho:
1. Last night we were bombarded on our way out of the hostel, and ended up drinking beers in the sand with two brazilans, one swede, and a columbian (all men) me, Ellis and George.
2. Ellis and I went to get bikini waxes today and George found a fishing shop.
3. Constant ranting about sexy Brazilian men (they are in fact more attrative in the south, by a long shot.
4. we are about to go on a 22 hour bus ride, juntos, to Foz de Iguacu amanha.
Other bullet points:
We had some serious reverse culture shock within Brazil because we went to the grocery store and they had everything we were com saudades for in Belem. dark chocolate, real beer, wine, cheese (but it is all "expensive as shit" -George
gourmet tapioquinas with cheese chicken and oregano, gostoso!
Surprisingly, the area that we are in feels much safer than Belem
People run here A LOT
First day that we didn´t have to shower more than once, it feels cold at night, crazy.
We are going to Foz de Iguacu tomorrow and we are going to start writing things down because we can´t remember the funny things that happen, sorry his rambled. We also haven´t taken a single picture, desculpe.
