So now the rest of the group left and I was going to be on my own and I met J. Took me to the Espresso grill on Copa Ave. good place, good food too. We were talking and I mentioned to him I’m going to be alone and I have an extra bedroom he can stay in my extra room for free if he would take me around and show me some tricks of the trade. Like I said J speaks fluent Port, been down there 19 times and already extended his trip by another week. But since he was going to have somewhere to stay for free he said why not. Went over to the Copa hotel and got his flight changed until next Sunday. Kool I got a buddy to hang with. So where he was staying at the people were trying to rip him off. They wanted to charge him for room service, but J said the room service never came. So I watched him argue with the owner in Port for about 20 minutes and didn’t pay. I learned there that if there is a scam to be made on you it is going to happen. Keep your head on a swivel down there. So we took his bags down the street into the extra bedroom in my apartment and got ready to be shown another side of Rio. So we decided that we were definitely going to go to Centro today. But he was all like let’s take the bus. So we caught the #455 for R$1.90. Kool takes a little longer than the taxi but it was cheaper, and since both of us can pass for Brasillians we blended in pretty well. Got down to Centro and he took me to a termas. Don’t remember the name but the address was 113 Buenos Aires that place was a shithole. I walked in and walked right back out. So he was like I just wanted to show you that, so we walked a couple doors down and went to Termas85. J was there earlier in the day and showed the girls he did, and they were pretty good looking. I met Brenda. She spoke pretty good English but her attitude was kool as hell, so we had a session. R$20 for 20 minutes. 20 years old. I did not come by the time was up so she kept on going with me until I did. God she was good, little did I know at the time I was going to be seeing her later at my apartment on numerous occasions. After 85 we decided to go to 4x4. Like I mentioned earlier J speaks Port, so there was this guy on the corner selling meat on a stick. I have to admit that was good stuff. I had carne and lingusa (sp?) and this was where I was first introduced to guarana all maannn good stuff. That is some good stuff. Sat there ate and it cost like R$5. Crossed the street and went into 4x4. God I love this place, so I got in changed and sat down. J really wanted me to meet Deizy. This chick is super HOT! But more on her later. So I’m sitting there saw some of the girls I did, kisses on the cheek god I love this country. So I’m sitting there and I notice this blonde next to me. Out of left field she goes, “I like you.” I was like kool. You’re pretty good looking, let me see your bunda and man she had a bunda. Phew, I was like J I think I found her I’m going to take her. I forget her name at the termas cause after words she told me her real name. But before I went up I met Deizy and she was nice but I was on mission for the bunda. She agreed to the terms let’s go baby. Got the 40 minutes suite and did the deed. While we were walking she kept on telling the girls on the way I was her Normardo gringo. After 20 minutes?? Only in Brasil. Pretty good lay, I just love the sound these girls make. You know that one that sounds like “Oi, oi, oi.” Gustosoa.

She gave me her info and said she would come by the apartment a couple of days later. Kool or so I thought. Walked out of 4x4 bought some more meat from “theo” as J called him and caught the #175. At this time it was about 11 o’clock at night and the streets in Centro are a pretty empty. I don’t know about you guys but I had no idea vehicles that size could maneuver like that. Jumping lane to lane, slowing down for red lights and then going through them. I love this country.
