And She Danced Upon the Sand...

I will update after I leave South America. I'm not feeling too energetic with regards to anything on the internet. A couple of quick words of advice though:

1) If you ever become a taxi driver in Rio, don't tell your passengers how likely they are to get shot walking by a favela.

2) If you are thinking about going to the Pantanal during the wet season, don't. It's pretty beautiful, but you won't see too much wildlife and nobody should have to endure a 24 hour bus ride to get to Rio de Janeiro--nobody.
