Hubby is home from Rio de Janeiro. His flight arrived around about 5:10 am. He had to sit all night beside a belligerent, foul-mouthed “big ole boy” (his description, not mine) who was so intoxicated they wouldn’t serve him an alcholic drink on the plane. Thankfully, he passed out shortly into the flight. Trouble was that he and his blanket were all sprawled out in a seat that was too small for even a small person. So, Hubby shared his seat. Wasn’t’ that nice of him? He said he preferred the beautiful Brazilian woman who sat beside him on the way down. Really? I would have, as well. Here are a few pictures he took with his BlackBerry but he only had time to be on the beach when the sun was going down and the moon was coming up. I’m guessing the shots don’t really give the scenery its due justice, but hey, I’ve never seen Cococabana Beach, have you? At my request he attempted to take a picture of himself. I think he deliberately included the lady in the bra because he sure wasn't concentrating on taking a good shot of himself! (I originally put 'chick' instead of 'lady' but erased it - probably not nice.) The three-year old has been following her Papaw around all morning; talking, talking, talking. He has learned in a very short while that if he doesn’t answer her questions, she will keep asking them until he does. I’m grateful for the break. My throat is a little worn out from coughing and drilling the 8-year old on his spelling words yesterday evening. He practiced those words all week and he is still having difficulty with a few words like ‘caution’ and ‘imitation’ and ‘quotation.’ With school almost out for the summer, I think he is having a problem concentrating on anything. I have to constantly tell him to zip his pants. What’s with that? Is it a normal boy thing?
Well, I better get started on the chores, again. It seems like I never finish them. And now there’s a big suitcase of laundry to do. I’m so glad he’s home, honest, but I just can’t convince him that it would be absolutely wonderful if he had the hotel do his laundry before he comes home from his trips! I’m not complaining, but….okay, I’m complaining. I stop that now and count my blessings. I'm so glad to have a washing machine and a dryer! Many people do not. How's that?

Glad your Hubby is home safe and sound.Do you mean he worked from sun up to sundown and didnt get to enjoy the beach?
also hope he didnt have to go to work today! Since this is a long weekend are you all getting some time off?? love mom!
Just zoomed in on the pictures I wonder how much he had to pay that lady to stand there it surely wasn't a co-instance!!???? MOM!!
Hey, the "Chicks" down there all wear that type of stuff. No matter which way I’d turn for a picture, they would be there! Thank your lucky stars I didn't take any pictures of the thong bikinis they wear. You see females like the one in the picture everywhere you turn. At least she was semi-dressed. Most show a lot more!
I also tried to get a picture of the famous “Statue of Christo” (Christ) but the only time I saw it was from the taxi going back and forth from hotel to office. What few pictures I got, I’d have to point it out to you because it’s hard to see. I did get a few good close-up glimpses of it though. But by the time I saw it and got the camera (BlackBerry Phone) focused, it would disappear behind a mountain or building. So, you get a picture of a woman in a bra walking the beach instead!
Rio is very nice place to visit. I’ve always enjoyed going there. It has mountains, beaches, and about anything a person would want. This time of year the sun goes down around 5:30pm so it gets dark fairly early. As with any big city you need to be careful where you go at night.
All in all it was a good trip. I would like to take G down there someday. I think she would like it, too. Chow…..
Looks beautiful. When mom said that you were talking about going back, I said, "oooh that would be fun!" And went on with the conversation without much thought. But some time shortly after that, mom snuck in "Well, I guess you could go too!" I ignored it, but I can sense when I'm not wanted!!! Oh well, guess I'm at that age where my parents want to go off on romantic vacations alone. But, I promise I could entertain myself and give you two alone time! I'd much perfer my own hotel room any way. Cause that's what I like at this age! ; )
