Saturday, Dec 28 – Monday, Dec 30
Saturday, MM and I go to Solarium. I have a double with Vivian (great spinner!) and a friend of hers in the hot tub room. No wonder Mr. Bubble has a smile on his face…he’s a closet monger!

I start with Vivian while her friend draws the bath. Vivian gets up abruptly from a great BBBJ as I'm thinking "what the fuck". Then she joins her friend in the bath. Well...ok. After fulfilling some voyeur fantasies and pleasuring myself a bit (only time in Rio, BTW), I join in. POOL PARTY!

Highlight of the trip so far. Corcavado might as well be in Ecuador for all I care.

Later that evening, I call Larissa from the beach for a nightcap. She remembers my name, and my preference for cowboy. Giddyup!

MM leaves on Sunday nite. His send off party is at (where else?) L’Uomo. Heavy drinking. I meet some guys from CH (MitchC, Sandman, Godfather, Kickstand), and they’re UW’s guys. Looks like they're mutants, which in Rio is a true compliment.

Its funny - you can tell the monger groups because they're so diverse...clearly cobbled together by pussy, not conventional things like work, school and other trappings of mainstream life. These guys are poster children for this. Great guys, as it turns out.

I have an uninspired session with Amanda from L’uomo. Nice to look at, but a little annoying in the sack. The first time a girl calls you safado, its cool. Third time, it’s a cute joke. Somewhere around five and its getting old. After 100 times, I’m ready to gag her with the belt from my robe! And, to make matters worse, the evil CBJ. And the fucking Kelly Key song is bugging me.

I drink a half dozen Caiparinhas and agree to meet Mitch at Pussycat, but I’m too drunk to find the place. I end up and Ciccolina and finish the day with Ana Paula, a very cute but uninspired lay. Tries to upcharge me at the hotel to boot (I booted her…HA!). Second consecutive bad outing. She does ask me to pull her hair while I’m fucking her doggie though, which is sort of nice.

After two mediocre sessions, Rio is getting a little old, so my Inner Tourist alter ego takes over. I stop by Don's travel agent (she's smokin, too; no coincidence, i suppose), book reservations to Iguacu for Jan 1. I’m gonna get away from this shit.

I go to Corcavado and its really nice. Take lots of pictures. As I peered out over the panorama, I thought to myself…what a beautiful place, with so much to offer. Beaches, culture, music, rain forest. Why am I spending all my time mongering?

But, my main attraction at Corcavado are the hottie brasileira tourists. Even Cristo is wearing a robe! My inner monger begins to awaken. I meet MitchC at Centaurus for a change of pace. Lots of supermodel lookers but they’re a little cold. I go for Marina, a tall morena with a nice smile who’s a little chunky but looks like a great fuck. I’m wrong. She’s lame. Depression sets in.

When all else fails, call Don. Don hooks me up with a famous terma retiree who called him looking for some extra cash. We have dinner. She’s beautiful and really mild mannered, polite, sweet. I’m enjoying myself…in a conventional sort of way…but thinking that she’ll be an inspired lay. I have never been more wrong in my life. She’s the most athletic fuck EVER. And I’m a stallion. I’m a sex god. She loves me.

I'm damn glad Seaman made it to Corcavado and the other sites. His pictures he emailed me are the only "true" pictures I have of Rio. It's kind of sad to think about it that I made it to Rio two seperate times within two weeks in December/January (12 days) and I didn't spend anytime sightseeing. Rio will do that to a monger.

I'm grateful for the pictures Seaman. It was funny in L'Uomo because we bump into Seaman and we talk about how we are waiting for our buddy "UWPhoto". Then he says he knows UW. Seaman is right about the straw that binds us mongers together. I always find it funny to really think about how many men read these sex boards. On a few different occassions I've been in South America and just talked about adventures and people will say, "are you Godfather". I always find that amusing.

We were lucky to be around such great hobbyists during December/January. So many to mention but guys like UWPhoto, Sandman, Kick Stand, Seaman, MitchC, Don, Drew, Rich, and several others made it a funner time.
