Are you drinking caipiringhas? Quoting: Betty Blumpkin We drank Cachaça, a liquor and of course cerveza. yes! good stuff. My mom used to travel to brazil a lot on business and she used to bring me back cachaca. I mixed it with fresh lime juice. so good.

However, Rio has about 20 million people. I would guess crime per capita is actually very low. I would have to look up stats on that one. I was walking alone near the Saara street markets one day looking at my phone and GPS for directions, and a small boy about 10 ran up to me and tried to snatch my cell away from me. He was unsuccessful, but he looked at me and ran off. Shit happens so fast, you have to be aware at all times. I learned a valuable lesson. Our band went to the beach (Ipanema)on another day and the trombone player laid his pants down on the sand to go swimming and somehow somebody snatched them with his American Express card and some Reals money. Another lesson learned. |

No. This was a musical trip. I played with my band and many other bands from Rio, Colombia, Chile and the US. This was a typical scene during the festival: Largo do Curvelo from the stage. The people blocked traffic with just as many people on either side of this picture. They treated me like a rock star. How many alabama teen alpha nu and texas rangers are there in the pool?
