DAY 40
5:34pm
Hi from Starbucks Rio (near Copacabana)
What's Starbucks like in Rio
kind of like in Miami
listening to Xmas musics
but wearing shorts
lol
ew
I'm hesitating to just go to the beach after I'm done here
my friends from the cast who all were working earlier haven't gotten back to me
so i think i'm gonna play solo today
Why are you hesitating
cause i have my computer with me
and rio is reputated to be a place were you shouldn't even keep your iPhone out
lol
i mean, i should be fine
And your plan is to play solo?
Not smart
Don't risk it
Not worth it come on
I don't know. Be mindful
i walked around the city all day yesterday with one of the singers...
i got a chance to "take the temperature"
seriously, it didn't feel scary or anything
and i walked around all morning by myself
i was fine
i'll see what it feels like when i leave starbucks
if i don't feel it, i'll hop on a cab and go back to the ship, see if i can find company
Alright
Just be careful
Doesn't make sense to push it
i won't push my luck
i've been around the world enough to know what crowds are like
i ‘m having my third "pao con queijo" here. Those are good!
it’s funny, i'm speaking portuguese with the people at starbucks
well bullshitting a lot, mixing italian into spanish
people understand me and i get what they say more than i expected
well, enough to get food, directions and to be polite
Oh wow. Nice hats
Our Brazilian costumes
They're appropriate right now
Ok gonna head out of Starbucks
I'm having a winter wonderland indigestion lol
(Kidding)
Talk soon!
7:55pm
Had a little walk on copacabana beach then went to meet up with my 2 friends that were at another Starbucks
And now at the steakhouse again
Were you safe alone?
Yeah
Lots of people. Families etc
At the steakhouse, they give you those little cards
You turn it one side or the other to let them know to keep bringing meat or not
Day 41
3:40pm
Always wondered what would happen if people didn’t make it back to the ship on time....
Well, some guests got stuck at the Corcovado... like over a hundred people
So we’re sailing away an hour later....
So it was Jesus's fault
Typical
Ok gonna log off for a bit. Maybe go up to the upper deck and sunbathe for a bit.
Lol. Looking the tan huh?
Yup. On a mission
My skin's been resting for almost 48 hours. Time to do some maintenance work...
AND THAT'S HOW SARAH NEVER CAME BACK FROM HER MISSION!!!
Kidding! She did! But she also got a phone card the day after that. She got lazy. Messages in a bottle, carrier pigeons, emails and even facebook got neglected and we lost trace of all overseas correspondance.
After another month sailing around South America and French Polynesia, she got back to Paris with thousands of pictures from around the world in her iphone and will share a few more in the next commotion post!
