Now today is what it is suppose to be all about!!

Bom Noite Everyone!

 

It is now about 10:30pm here on Sunday evening-  Domingo if you prefer.  And it was definitely the "Lord's Day" today!

 

We woke up to blue skies for the first time since we have been here.  That was a great sign because it is usually cloudy where we are staying and hazing out at the coast until the sun burns through.  Today, there was nothing but the occasional puffy white marshmallow in the sky.  :)

 

We tried to get out to the beach as quickly as possible, but we had to say goodbye to Larry who is the New Yorker who first befriended us on the beach.  He headed back today.  It was very crowded on the buses heading to the beach so we did not get there until about 2pm.  Larry's Brazilian friend, Jean Paul, stayed behind for an extra day and headed out to the beach with us.  Jean Paul is a friendly guy who seems to charm most everyone he meets.  He has introduced us to a few more people at the party and the beach even though he just met them himself.  He currently lives and works in Washington, D.C.

 

There are also two other Brazilians who work for Emirate Airlines who have befriended us...  Bruno and Rodrigo.  They have met us out at the beach the last couple of days too.  Both are really nice guys and worldly.  They have been everywhere with their jobs.  And I sort of have a thing going with Bruno which makes me very happy.  More on that later...

 

Anyways, the beach was absolutely packed today!!  Much more so than when Ozell and I were here for New Years and more so than any of the previous days.  I am having the most fun by far at the beach compared to the parties in the evening.  The have music playing all day.  The temperature has been perfect.  The water has been a little chilly but definitely refreshing.  There have been lots of attractive men and women on the beach (plenty of average looking people too).  There has been an afternoon joint to smoke while gazing out at the water.  And the beers are only R$2.50 each-  that is $1.20!!!  This is the price beers normally go for, but the fact you can get them at the beach on a holiday weekend for this price is fantastic!! 

 

More posts soon.  I will upload the pics to the Blog as soon as I can.  Here is but a taste...  The pic attached shows Praia Mole which is the beach we go to because it is popular and is the easiest to reach.  The "gay section" is on the right hand side of the picture.  You can see we know how to throw a could party compared to the less popular "straight section" of the beach down the middle.  Even the straight people were trying to set up there stuff in the gay section so they could be part of the scene-  just like what has happened to the "gay" neighborhoods back home.  Lol

 

Cheers,

 

Sean  :)  OH!  And I finally have what can be considered my first legitimate tan in probably 8 years!!  LOL
