Basically the main tourist attraction of Rio is the ass...that we have found appealing actually sratch that Mr. Clean has....think thong bikinis and moose knuckle speedos.
Ok really we´ve spent most of our days thus far at the beach and wondering the streets of Ipanema. It is soo fucking gorgeous being surrounded by the water and the lush mountains as Nicole would say. The one very helpful tip we learned that saved our ass well a little bit was how to properly say thanks in portugese to drive away the vendors. Ya, the language barrier is a tad difficult but we are managing some how.
The hostel we are staying at is pretty legit. Though the first night we were there we thought we might die from the heat because someone decided to unplug the air conditioner to charge their phone...seriously not ok. Because of the heat and the long ass walk to our room...we are on the 6 floor...even the elevator doesn´t go there.haha.... we hang out with the bartender from Longbeach...who likes to give free shots...and is quite the character. We have not gotten to know many people at our hostel but from the dance party that took place last night it seemed they were a fun bunch of people.
Nicole is learning to pay more attention and to keep her head out of the clouds because a young boy tried to put his hand in her pocket. Then proceeded to blow her kiss and tell how beautiful she is after she gave him her look of death.
We have not had the best experience trying to find good food. Basically B and Mr. Clean´s guide book lies which leads to a group of frustated hungry people at the mercy of crappy food options. Though today we did have an enjoyable lunch at this place that you purchase by the kilo. It was our first chance to eat some Brazilian food...had a fucking delicious banana cake. The owner was super nice and welcoming.
We will try to post some pics soon.
