Got my tickets.
Finished my entries for South America.
Toured the city center.
Tomorrow I fly to Africa. That is if I can get there. My flight is at 2:30pm and the Brazil vs. Ghana game is at noon. What happens is that about a half an hour before the game, the entire city shuts down. If I don’t get on my way by noon, I will be paying to find out how much money it will take to make a Brazilian miss a futbol game. Not good.
The flight was a blur. In and out of REM sleep, barely able to stay awake long enough to drink my plastic cup of Guarana, and eat the two packets of crackers. We arrive and I want out. Usually I am the reserved passenger who has way too much free time and just sits in the seat until everyone else gets off. This time I was one of the passengers who is up before the place comes to a complete halt. I knew I was sleep deprived and cranky when I wanted to yell at the idiots up front who can’t follow the person in front of them and get off the damn plane. I am still in a shitty mood when I slice my way to the front of the luggage turnstile thinking about kicking the luggage carts out of my way as they clog the front row. Lazy bastards. My mood is a bit better as I find the public bus stop. No taxis and I have even given up on using the airport shuttles. I am the bus man.

It was that same anticipation as what went on in Sao Paulo, but here it was like getting ready for the big party. People were out in droves in their flourescent green ... [Continue reading this entry]
