A great time in Rio! -259

It is seven on a glorious morning in Rio. Mike and I both woke around quarter to five in our little hotel room. I was lying awake and heard Mike tossing and turning.

“How’s your head?”

“Mmmmmmm…………” came the reply.

Yep, we had a fine evening out in the the little town of Marica hosted by our new friends who helped us service and prepare the Bullet. The steaks were particularly good and the local beer “Black Princess” flowed quart after quart causing serious pounding in our heads this morning. Headache pills working, showered and in the dinning room for an early start, both on the computers tapping away. We will spend the morning prepping a few details for the next leg and then make our way into Rio for a tour that we have been invited on by a friend of one of the pilots. We will take lots of photos and post them later.

Enjoy your monday! J&M
