Love It !
Been following you guy's travels for a while if nothing else than cos i saw the City shirt. I'm a Canary from Liverpool who did a similar trip to yourselves a few years back and blogged on this site, loving the fact you stayed in the favela and loving to see you both having the time of your lives. Keep enjoying, these memories will last you forever !

Whatablog!
Well if the word count reflects satisfaction, the Stones should have lived in a favela in Rio! What a great story, full of life and detail that brings favela life into the Cornish seascape.I really enjoyed it. Rio tourist board shoul send you a fee (nb rio tourism workers). Is all life in Rio a beach, or does anyone work. Sounds like paradise. We are looking for a publisher. Much love Mouty, sas Arran and William xxxx
