GODDAMN IT
Current mood: pissed off
Category: Travel and Places

Okay, well I´m fucking pissed.

I typed out a couple of pages worth of notes, and this goddamn blog timed out on me while I was reviewing it.

Love this shit from Popeye´s.

Now I´m going to try and type it all again tomorrow, for now it´s 3:28 in the morning and I started typing at midnight.

If you want to know what my day was like, here´s some links to what I saw.

Things to remember:

Lindevan, the guide who saved us money and told us the history of Corcovado

How expensive things are in Rio, even considering currency conversion

Carrying a pair of shoes up a mountain.

Cable cars that shook. A mountain that was windy.

Buses and narrow cobblestone roads do not mix.

The breathtaking views.

The compulsion to cross myself when near the statue.

Souvenirs.

Rip-off artists posing as taxi drivers.

Confusion in ordering in Portuguese.

Long day.

Sunburnt.

Pissed off at making one mistake and costing myself hours of exposition.

Save, motherfucker, save.

Beautiful day ruined by one moment´s stupidity.
