| Thank you Luiz for being such an outstanding person and guide! |
Our time in Brazil is essentially over. We leave tomorrow, March 11 for Santiago, Chile from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Today is a kickback and transition day.
Yesterday morning (Wednesday) Luis picked us up at 4:30 in the morning (we were up by 3:30 a.m.) We said our goodbyes to Luis at 5:00 am at the embarkation entrance of the airport. We were airborne by 6:30, out of the Amazon and to Sao Paulo. We took a taxi to an Airbnb not too far from the airport and right across from a large shopping mall by 1:00 pm.
Having not had breakfast and only a light snack on the plane, we headed over to the shopping mall where we intended to eat at the food court, but the Outback Steak House looked much more inviting. We had a tasty, carb-loaded lunch, and a couple of beers. Russ got a haircut, we made a quick stop at the supermarket for dinner snacks, and breakfast food, went back to the apartment, showered, and took naps.
When we woke late evening, we chatted over snacks, and a game of cards. We all had a wonderful time together and built some strong memories of our experience. Archie leaves for Rio tomorrow where he will spend one night before heading stateside. We leave the following day and fly to Santiago for one night, before flying to Easter Island.

After breakfast while I stayed at the apartment, Russ and Archie walked back to the mall. Archie wanted a haircut and both of them wanted to use the internet. The Internet server for our apartment is not functioning and probably will not get fixed during our stay. Consequently, we are forced to the Mall's free Wifi service. The guys came back around at noon to pick me up, and we walked back for lunch and some very frustrating Wifi time again at the mall, particularly as we needed to get mail, send mail, post blogs, and check flight, taxi and other stuff for our trips. The long and short of it, we got very little done with a lot of grief.
Archie left by taxi at 3:30. Since everyone else got a haircut, I decided to trim my hair as well. I worked on the front and sides, and Russ took care of the back.
Guess what? We are back at the mall, still trying to make wifi connections. Russ and his computer are doing well. My Ipad is having issues with the "not secure" free wifi is balking at every step. Grrrr!
Our Airbnb host is driving us to the Airport in the morning at 7:30. Tomorrow, we will be in transit most of the day.
I will try to post photos to go with the blogs in Chile if we have some working internet. Right now from here, posting photos seems like a monumental task, when I can barely get my email text to go through.
So that's it for now.
All is Well with the Worrall Travel R's in Brazil.
