    It's 21:30 here in Cabo Frio, RJ and I am in my hotel room, sitting on the bed...

    Started my day walking for 30 mins from hotel to main bus terminal and took a bus to the house...

    [​IMG]

    Met with someone at the house and gave him a briefing about what he will do after I'm gone...

    [​IMG]

    The weather was nice, hot and sunny but I sat at the veranda waiting for another neighbor... Had to give him too some instructions for when I'm gone....

    By the time I was ready to go to the beach, a storm came and it rained hard for a while...

    [​IMG]

    So, I grabbed a big barrel and filled it up with rain water to store it in the house. There's no street water in there right now. And I also checked for any leakage... found none... seems the roof job is working. :yes2557:

    It was just a passing cloud though... Soon those blue skies appeared again...

    [​IMG]

    And I went to the beach for some resting and thinking...

    [​IMG]

    Then, took a bus back to Cabo Frio... And as I was passing by São Pedro D'aldeia, the sun was out again...

    [​IMG]

    When I arrived at the hotel, there were lots of guests leaving after the end of the holiday today. Took a shower and went out again looking for something to eat. Didn't find exactly what I wanted. Bought a portion of french fries and another of salad of cooked legumes. I threw those eggs away cause I don't eat eggs... :biggrin_25512:

    Tomorrow will take a bus at 8 am to the city of Rio. Will stay in Rio's downtown and do some little shopping... It's an almost 6 hr round trip...

    I don't recall how yesterday went. Except the unrealistic expectations.
    Kinda ran all over town. I sit in my pickup truck a lot. This morning I feel like I been run over and beat up. When the alarm first sounded I didn't know what day it is.

    A pure dirt bike wouldn't get much work. Though I live way out of Houston there just aren't that many places for a dirt bike. Doesn't seem to matter in any case.
