Hi everyone, I forgot to mention that VISA cards are very difficult to use in ATM`s in Brazil to get money. Most machines don`t accept the cards. The few that do frequently don`t work. Sometimes a machine insists on identifying the card as a credit card and won`t complete the transaction, because the card is a debit card. After chasing around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to get cash, The Geezer (me) went berserk, when he mistakenly thought an ATM ate his card. After the machine gave me my money and a receipt, I waited for the machine to spit out my card. It didn`t. I called the cops, cussed, ranted, raved and fretted in a sweat about losing the card and had no confidence the bank would respond quickly and adequately. Then, found the card in my pocket. I was used to machines that keep the card until the end of the transaction, when you are asked if you want another transaction and answer "no" it spits the card out. This machine gave it back to me in the beginning and I put it in my pocket. We are going to meet a group of riders tonight. Tomorrow we`ll ride to a lagoon on the island. Intend to leave for Iguazu Falls Sunday and be in Acuncion Wed. Iguazu Falls are bigger, and there is a greater volume of water than Niagra Falls. Iguazu Falls is second largest in the world. Second only to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, Africa. BTW, Punky is fine and enjoying the R&R as well.
Later, amigos & amigas.
