Starting the journey north (and more misadventures in Rio).

July 7, 2007

I 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, pigtails for the ladies and braces.

A novel feature was a jail in which a hillbilly reveller could be incarcerated by another for 15 minutes for a small fee. For the same small fee, the prisoner could buy their release, without knowing who was responsible. This information cost a little more.

It´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 east of Brazil will soon be plugged by a bridge of words, linking the two together. All these stupid analogies add up to mean that there will be more coming soon.

In the meantime, here is a new photo gallery of random pictures taken in Buenos Aires:

New Buenos Aires photo gallery here!

A couple of samples at the bottom of the post.

Lots of new photos to come – the problem is finding a net cafe with decent computers or connection to upload them all, ideally in less time than the opening hours of the cafe!

This picture is presented in response to the comment that I was taking too many pictures of dogs:

This one I just thought was cool, it looks like it could be an album cover:
