Hi everyone: We will ship a sick Critter out of Rio April 12 on Varig cargo air. We will fly United Airlines to Miami. The cost of returning is temporarily putting us in the poorhouse until June. When we arrive in Miami we will not have much funds to find a place to rent or to get Critter repaired. I would like to go to Moab, Utah in early June for the KLR Rally and to see Mariola. If anyone can and is willing to help, please let me know. We are staying at Pousada do Trovador w/pool on Piratininga Beach across the bay from Rio. We are pinching our pennies (reales), but bought tickets to see the best 3 teams of Carnaval at the Sambodromo in Rio next Saturday night. Itīs a once in a lifetime event for us. Rio is a busy and beautiful city, once the capital of the ex-United States of Brazil, with great beaches. The surrounding hillsides are covered with densely populated and dangerous favelas (neighborhoods) that house the poor. Some favelas are controlled by criminals and the police wonīt even enter the areas. It is semi-arid and doesnīt rain very much in this area. Suffering in paradise. Things could be a lot worse, hey? Thatīs Canadian I leaned north of the border.
Later, amigos.
