What a day!

---

First: The weather. VERY WINDY, 70 degrees, rainy. Had breakfast next to 2 older gents drinking scotch. Insisted on sharing when they found out we were from AR. BILL CLEENTON!! dude was an attache for the Brazilian gov. when BC was pres. Scotch with breakfast isn´t so bad. Especially looking at the sugarloaf mountain and the gondola. Speaking of...went up the gondola and saw macnificent views of Rio..inspite of the wind and rain. Took lots of pics. on way down, lift stopped. swayed..swayed..swayed.. Called mom..no one home. called pam...no one home....called Angie. She answered!!!! Thanks, ange! Had visions of plane snipping the cables and dropping us into the rain forest. haaha
Then went to Carmen Miranda museum. Poor Carmen. her museum is quite small, but had great clothes and shoes! Platforms..just like in bloomingdale´s. We,re getting our days and nights mixed up. due to taking 2 hour naps at 5pm. just now ate supper in restaurant at hotel. on beach. verry cool. People here DON,T speak spanish or english. ordering food or drinks is iffy. try to make spanish sound like portugese. hahah Also went to musuem of modern art. Had an exhibit of Andy Warhol movies. That was the normal stuff. Have walked miles on the ocean promenade. Lots of speedos. they play volley ball in the rain. must be desparate. only watched for an hour or so... ha. Off to Sao Paulo Brasil tomorrow by bus. 5 hours. after that, to Falls de Iquacu. Like Niagra, only in the jungle. Tomorrow´s our 13th anniversary!! Drink to our health at coffe tomorrow. Love to all--cr and gr. Buen gia -- (good morning, don~t know good night.)

Sounds fabulous to me. Scotch for breakfast, hmm...I've been looking for a substitute for Bailey's..think I should try it? So, just how long were you stuck in the gondola? - Angela
