The Travel Curse Strikes Again

The last time I came to Brasil, I got sick from some bad food. This time, I picked up a suck-ass head cold from some loser on the airplane ride over here. I remember him, sitting four seats to me left, sniffling and snarfing and coughing all the way over the gulf of mexico and the carribean.

So day before yesterday, I got a runny nose with sneezing, which quickly became a good head cold that moved down into my upper chest. As a result, I didn't really do much yesterday except go out for dinner with Tatiana. The bright side is that a) there are like three pharmacies on every block here and b) very few of the pharmaceutical offerings require a prescription. So, I purchased some high octane cold buster/ cough stuff and it has been working fairly well. Today I felt much better, and so I spent the morning on Ipanema beach getting sunburned and drinking caipirinhas. 

I have lots more pix to show you guys, but not a lot of time to sit and upload them all. Soon, I promise.
