Brazil!- at least Porto Alegre...

Ola Everybody,
 
We have safely made it to Brazil!  We took an overnight bus from Punta del Este, Uruguay to Porto Alegre, Brazil.  Porto Alegre is a large city (around 1.6 million people), but it doesn't have many characteristics that make it a tourist destination.  We just wanted to break up our trip to Florianopolis, and Porto Alegre is a little over half way there. 
 
We were able to find accommodations in Florianopolis just yesterday which is HUGE.  We were having a very difficult time because of the New Year Eve holiday.  This is summer time down here, and Florianopolis is a beach town/island.  So imagine trying to find hostel accommodations in the beach neighborhoods of San Diego on a large 4th of July or Labor Day weekend.  That is what we were running into.
 
Ozell and I did go to one bar last night.  It was the first bar that I have been to where the waiters and go go dancers were naked.  That was a nice touch for this classy joint.  Lol-  it wasn't that classy, but half the staff were pretty hot. 
 
Well, I need to take a nap now so I will keep this short...
 
Tchau.
 
Sean
