Subject: Spiderman has reached Brazil

Hello all!!!

It is easy to guess from the subject that now I am in brazil.  Well... it´s 
lovely, such a good change from peru.  No more agressive people, no more 
honking in the streets, no more annoying merchants.  But before i tell you 
about brazil, i want to tell you about lima...
I had such a good time in lima doing nothing, so i decided to extend my 
flight ticket for a few more days in order to enjoy it a little more.  Also, 
my flight which was on the first of november fell on haloween, and it is not 
in my nature to miss good parties...
Preparing for haloween, i rented a spiderman costume.  I went as usual to 
the disco tequilla with two israelis from the hostal.  Because i was dressed 
up, i got in free (i like entering free) to the disco.  It was a nice party, 
but not many people dressed up.  Suddenly, all my troubles seemed so far 
away (mr. bean, 1997)...  Suddenly a host showed up and called some people 
on the stage.  As they were all dressed up i thought this was a costume 
contest, so when the host grabbed me i did not hesitate.  Surprisingly (to 
me), it was not a costume contest, but a dancing contest of black music 
(drums)...  So i did what i had to do.  After we all danced the crowd voted 
me to be the best!  An israeli beating the peruvians in dancing!  This 
awarded me 24 bottles of beer.  I did not want to spoil the event by saying 
that I don´t drink beer...  I think this was one of the few times i enjoyed 
drinking beer...  Sorry, didn´t have my camera on me, but the disco took my 
picture and said they will hang it at the enterance.  I´ll be famous!
The rest of the days in lima were pure laying around and doing nothing, 
which is of course the reason why i am here.
Then came the flights...  I flew from lima to rio via santiago chile.  When 
i reached santiago de chile the country looked so western, i suddenly 
realized that a month and a half passed, and soon i will take a flight back 
home...  But then I noticed that on all the big signes at the airport the 
word flight was spelled as fligth, so i knew i am still in the schuna of 
south america.  The food on the flights was excellent, as i ordered kosher 
food.  It was funny looking at the pathetic meals they gave the regular 
passengers.
Arriving at rio was a nice change.  The weather...  It is 30 degrees here, 
much like tel aviv but without the humidity.  The city is beautiful, many 
beaches, copacobana, very western, beautiful people.  Actually as a tourist 
here you do not stand out, as there are many white locals.
The only problem here is that brazil is now empty of muchileros, so i am 
alone here in rio.  I will move on to more touristic places.
My next plans are to tour the rio state and then move down to florionapolis.
till the next ephisode!
Tomer.
