3rd day in Brazil
Last 2 nights were great, we hung out on our rooftop of the hotel and had a private pool party. Met some neat Americans, Annie and Joby and Brazilians, and had some wonderful conversations until 3 AM. Annie is here because her daughter had a terrible rxn to the Yellow Fever vaccination, and ended up in the ICU with seizures encephapathy, and pancreatitis. guess she will be written up in Jama. They flew Dr~s in from France and London.,
We have checked out and are trying to get to Ihle de Mel (honey island) for 4 days so not sure what the internet access will be.
There is no way to download photos so you´ll have to wait.
So all in all, it~s been a great trip so far
PS EVERY american we spoke to that went to the concert lost something, one a gold necklace and 3 lost cameras, so we were glad we gave it a pass.]

So sorry to hear about the run in with the street thuggery. Brazil is a beautiful nation but plagued by corruption and petty crime (not to mention big, scary no kidding crime).
Stay safe and enjoy!
After talking to lots of travelers, it~s almost seems a `rite of passage` 90% of the people we~ve talked (in Rio) to have been pickpocketed or mugged. So far all we lost was cameras, money and some pride... luckily no one was hurt though.
