Think i may have over exaggerated the perils of Rio. If you´re going, stay by one of the tourist beaches, cop an eyeful, checkout Christo, party and then leg it.
I shall be loitering with intent this week. Fruit salads, long walks etc. Today i went to MASP (Museum of Art Sao Paulo) which is supposed to have the best selection of European classics in South America. Couple of Picasso´s were quality and particularly enjoyed a Utrillo of Montmatre. The modern stuff sucked.
Overcame the hurdle of ordering lunch, particularly troubling when half the world seems to be behind you waiting to order. Most cheap places you have to queue to order, pay and then go and get it at another counter. Painful.
Saw Blach Dahlia at the local cinema, been out a while i think and not sure why there still showing it. Ms Johanssen has her normal plus points but the film is mediocre to dire, erring on the dire side.
Now recovering from my hike with a cold lager and a fag, all is well.
P.S John Irving´s - Until i find you - is wonderful
