Fitting in somewhere just before I wrote the silly post coming up next, and my arrival in Ecuador, I found myself in Sao Paulo again. SAO PAULO GALLERY HERE! A few words and some photos below..

Sao Paulo, again. Minus the transexuals..
September 18, 2007Chapada Diamantina – dusty ramblings in an oasis
September 18, 2007After Busca Vida, a day was spent in other parts of Salvador, along the coastal stretch and bay area, before catching a bus inland to Lencois. Lencois is a small, old diamond boom and bust town and sits in the national park of Chapada Diamantina, a beautiful oasis in the dry and dusty surrounding sertao. [...]
Busca Vida – “Search for Life”
September 18, 2007Moving chronologically forward from the post, Killing time – post carnival Salvador, we land in mid July, 2007 – a little further north than before. As soon as I felt fit enough, I arranged to stay for about 10 days in Busca Vida, 50 or 60 Km north of Salvador. I stayed in a house [...]
Killing time – post carnival Salvador
August 9, 2007The dust from the carnival settled surprisingly swiftly and the next day was business as usual in Pelourinho, the historic centre of Salvador. “Pelourinho” means whipping post and it was here that slaves arrived from Africa and were traded and treated in a manner that would be considered unethical for cattle today. Although somewhat rundown, [...]
Ringside Seats in Salvador – view from a second floor window
August 9, 2007Continuing north up Brazil to the north-eastern state of Bahia, I arrive at Salvador in the middle of the night. I decide it safer to take a cab. The crazy web of unnamed cobbled streets was deserted and still. Equally crazed was my driver, who made the journey anything but still. It was unusual that everywhere was [...]
M.I.A. – Monkey In Action
August 9, 2007Never let a monkey do a man’s job.. Seriously, monkey’s are not renowned for their punctual preparation of of reports, or punctual anything for that matter. When was the last time you saw a monkey wearing a watch? (Although an internet search could almost certainly change that) For the first part of my travels, he [...]
Starting the journey north (and more misadventures in Rio).
July 7, 2007I left Sao Paulo and another enjoyable time with my Brazilian friends in Limeira followed, spent socialising and route planning. Themed parties are popular here and another coincided with my visit. This time the theme was `Hillbillies´ or whatever the Brazilian equivalent is: think straw hats, chequered flannel shirts, blacked out teeth, straw in mouth, [...]
It´s about time too.
July 3, 2007It´s been quite a while since anything new has appeared here. There is a lot to write about, several thousand kilometers worth. The wall of writer´s block has been smashed to pieces by a sledgehammer of inspiration and the great, empty chasm of blog between Buenos Aires and my current location of Salvador in the north [...]
Buenos Aires After Dark
June 5, 2007Another photo gallery of late night strolls; Sunday night rolling into Monday morning: Buenos Aires After Dark Photos Gallery I clearly have too much hands on my time:
Fish have feelings too..
June 5, 2007Many people assume that fish don´t have feelings. Try telling that to this poor fish who was so sad when we left that it started to cry. Taken at the Japanese Gardens in Palermo, Buenos Aires: Other photos of the Zen and flow (but mostly of other Koi) on this overcast day just before sunset [...]
