Good job Mr..... glad for you...I know what you are saying about "Get the H! away from me!"...
I do the same thing.... keep watching them on my flat mirrors... and sooo many times I caught them coming too close to the truck and trailer because they were distracted with something in the car... that's when I open my window (if it's not already open), put my hand outside and look really angry at them and tell them to move the H away from me!And they always do...

Today was a super soggy wet cold day in the city of Rio...

I knew it was going to rain in Rio but didn't imagine it would be so much... So, I brought only my nylon coat and no umbrella cause I am already carrying my laptop in my bag and a few other things and I would be walking a lot...
So... it rained buckets of cats and dogs all day long in the city..
I got totally soaked..
even my panties, and my socks and everything else..
it was pouring, windy, and cold. 20 celcius..
I got wet ALL DAY LONG.... dripping kinda wet....
and had to sit in a cold room for almost one hr.. waiting to speak with an attendant in a government office... all my clothes wet... I was shivering.... with cold...
And the humidity...

And I brought my laptop for nothing.. thought was going to need it to check some DVDs I ordered.. but the shop had a laptop... and I didn't need mine...

Then, I went to 3 places tying to find a phone booth for international calls... the third one had a booth.. tried to call the place in USA 3 times, couldn't talk to anyone and spent almost U$4.00 for that...
No time for lunch... just walking around with my heavy bag under intense rain and strong wind...
Finally, thought I was going to find a room in a hotel...
Went to three hotels nearby and none had vacancy...
So... I ended up here....
Well... but for U$22.00.. what should I expect...?

Rough day you had.

This room is just a little bigger than the cab of "my" truck...

Hey.. Mr... @MACK E-6 is that small enough for you...?
I know I have been at even smaller hotel rooms...
That's the shower and bathroom all in the same place...
At least I took all my clothes off and hang them to dry some... but it has been so humid..
This is the view from my window.. another old building and other old buildings....
View to the right and to the left...
I haven't got sick so far.. and I hope there are no bed bugs on this bed...kemosabi49, Dave_in_AZ, MACK E-6 and 6 others Thank this. -
Then.. this evening, I had to put on my damp clothes again to go out and have my lunch... or dinner at 7 pm local time and took two buses to go to Rio International airport..
And when I got there.... the airline company was having some "problem" with a flight that was cancelled and I had to wait for 1:30hr just to get some information about my trip....
Ohhhh what a day...
By the time I was ready to leave the airport and come back to the hotel, there were no more buses... ohhhh.... "great"....
