Here comes the rain....again....

There is some bad weather heading this way again, just in time for the weekend. Tomorrow, I was going to go to the island of Campeche, but it looks like the weather is going to suck. Especially for a boat ride out in the ocean. Oh well.

On the bright side of things, I've made some new friends here - most noteably Tatiana (remember the song "The Girl from Ipanema"? well, she actually is from Ipanema, in Rio de Janiero), Marcus, and Roberta. They are all cousins and good friends of Maria, down here in Floripa visiting family. I've been going out with them when Maria was busy with other things, and having a good time.

Do you remember the movie "Almost Famous"? There is a scene in that movie where the singer of the band Stillwater (played by Billy Crudup) is at a house party with a bunch of adoring teenagers, and he is standing on the roof of the house, about to jump into the swimming pool below. At one point he spreads his arms out wide and shouts "I AM A GOLDEN GOD!"...well, earlier today I was looking at myself in the mirror, and that line came to mind, only slightly altered:

I AM A BRONZED GOD!!!

He he he just kidding. But I am getting a fantastic tan......
