It?s Sunday morning and I wake with Erika and Sanna. Breakfast again, paid again. I really have to remember next time to either get up in time to order the included breakfast or to order it the night before and have it delivered. After eating Breakfast and showering, separately, the girls and I sat around just chatting. Well, they were chatting and I was included on an occasional basis as I guess they realized that they were still in my room. Erika finally announces that she is going to go back to her apartment. Being the curious sort that I am I asked if I could go with her to see her apartment. Without hesitation she said YES. To be honest I was surprised, but I accepted the ?invitation?. Erika also asked Sanna if she?d like to come. So, it was decided that all three of us would go to Erika?s place. We all went downstairs to the lobby, the girls retrieved their IDs and we got into a taxi. Erika exchanged words with the driver and we were off. I don?t know why but I was surprised when we came to a stop at a building that was not more than two blocks from the ?Lido Area? clubs. One could quite literally walk to Barbarella in about 5 mins. In any case the building didn?t appear to be anything special from the outside ? just a non-descript mid-rise among others. The lobby and interior hallways were even less impressive. I was shocked when she opened the door to her place. I thought to myself ? Holy Cow! This place is nicer than where I live in the USA!!! Granted that the rooms on average were a bit smaller than the average room size of my place but there were more rooms. I didn?t get to see the complete space as her roommate was in and in a certain state of undress therefore I couldn?t just go roaming freely. But I would estimate from what I did get to see that they had more square footage in their apartment than I have in mine. So, it?s big ? what?s to talk about there?? Well, it was not only big but also very clean as if it had just been remodeled in side - nicely painted walls and moldings, hardwood (or at least a good simulation) floors in the living room and bedroom, tile (ceramic) in the kitchen, etc. Basically, they had many of the things that one would expect in an upscale apartment in the USA. But it doesn?t end there. They had new appliances and electronics, good looking furniture and I can?t even begin to describe their ?balcony?. It was as if the balcony was cut into the face of a rock ? there was some water flowing down the face and a very small but visually appealing garden as well as some floor space ? maybe enough for a single chaise lounger. I kid you not when I say that if this place was available in my area for a reasonable price I would be there. Erika changes clothes and chats with her roommate, whom I actually never see. She then comes out to chat with Sanna and myself. I compliment her on her apartment and express my envy. We talk about plans for the rest of the day. For my part, I tell them that I am burnt out and don?t have any plans to go to the clubs or HELP tonight. Maybe I will do some shopping and tourist stuff. After some discussion in what I assume is Portuguese they ask me if I?d like to go to a movie with them. They sell it hard as a movie about the true life in the favelas in Brazil. I don?t have any other pressing plans for I accept so into another taxi and off to a theater. Conveniently enough there is a large one that is within walking distance of the Rio Roiss. We get there and find out that the next showing of the movie ?City of God? (English title) is in about an hour. We go back to the Rio Roiss where I am told that I can?t bring up two girls to my room even before I ask. I tell the desk clerk that I know and we are going to go sit in the other alcove, which we do. Erika and Sanna chat for a bit, occasionally explaining to me what is being said. Apparently Sanna has decided that she wants to be roommates with Erika now. Whatever. 15 minutes to start time and we decide it?s time to walk over to the theater. It takes about 3 minutes. There is a pretty long line outside but it goes quickly. I pay, of course, not only for the tickets but also for snacks. The movie was not up to Hollywood standards but was more on the level of a PBS production, it was also filled with quite a bit of violence but it was good. After the movie Erika and Sanna we obviously fishing for something but I once again told them that I wasn?t planning on going out tonight and that I could take them back to the Rio Roiss as they wouldn?t allow me to have two guests in my room at the same time. Erika decided that she would ?go home to see her child?. Sanna wanted to come back to the room with me. I declined. She asked for taxi fare, which I gave her and she was off. I walked back to the Rio Roiss and went to bed. I was tired, not just physically but also mentally. I had been going at a sprinter?s pace in this marathon and it caught up to me physically. Furthermore, I was disappointed in the quality of women that I was able to get. I know that others will rant and rave about how great the quality is but in my opinion the vast majority of the girls in the game were average or below. I did manage to get a hottie in terma 65 but her performance was less than disappointing. I woke a couple of hours later and felt a bit refreshed. I decided that since it?s my last night in Rio and my last night of vacation that I should give it one last try. I remembered that things had been set up with the other girl from Doma. I showered, got dressed and took a taxi to Doma. I walked in and saw her right away. I asked the waiter to bring her over. She came over with a smile. Drinks were bought and she was selling it hard. Communication with her was difficult as usual as she didn?t speak and English and we know the status of my Portuguese. I probably wasn?t in the club more than 20 minutes before leaving with this girl for TLN. To my surprise she didn?t change out of the dress that she was wearing at the club and into street clothes. This probably should have been my warning that things would not turn out as planned. Back in the room I took photos of her. She made sure to tell me not to post them on the internet. While not night and day, her clothes made the most of a less than perfect body. We did things together that only consenting adults should do and then fell asleep. About 20 minutes later, if that long, she announces that she wants to go home as her teeth have started hurting. I think about trying to convince her to stay be decide against it. I pay her half of the agreed upon price pointing out that she had agreed to TLN and it had only been three or so hours. In retrospect I wish I had paid less ? just on principle. I escort her out and assist her in getting a taxi. I decide that I will go to Barbarella since I haven?t actually spent much time there. I grab a taxi and head over there. When I arrive it?s pretty sparse pickings inside. I guess I missed my chance here. I wander over to La Cicil? whatever. It?s packed with people but none of the girls are interesting. (i.e. none of them are attractive) I leave here and walk around the block noticing that there are several other clubs that I have never seen mentioned on CH. I also notice the girls on the street corners being called over to cars as they stop nearby. A tout approaches me and wants me to go to a club called Pussycats. I am leary but decide that I am a big boy and know how to take care of myself so I go with him. This club is pretty dead when I walk in. There are may three girls in the place. The man behind the bar speaks good English and engages in conversation with me. He asks if I have been there before. I tell the truth and say no. Suddenly, I am his best friend. He explains to me how this is a great bar ? cheaper than Barbarella, same quality girls, etc. He asks me if I want company for tonight. I tell him that I don?t see anyone that I interests me and I am about ready to leave when up walks a new candidate. She is a tall Black girl. I immediately take a liking to her. Drinks are bought. After a few minutes I ask her if she will go TLN. Not tonight but tomorrow is the answer. Tomorrow night I am on a plane back to the USA. She offers short time. I decline expressing my dislike of ST. 30 minutes or more has passed during this exchange due to the language difficulties. I make a final offer of TLN to her. She says that she has to go to work in the morning as she works as a secretary during the day, but she can stay until 08:30 or 09:00. It?s less time than I wanted but not by much so I accept. We head back to the Rio Roiss. I ask for permission and take pictures. Afterwards is an interesting shower episode, followed by the things that strangers do in a hotel room. Sleep.
