I've been concerned about Brazil: I hear it's a country that stuns, but I speak no Portuguese and the crime bothers me.

Anyway, I think a plan is slowly taking shape. When Stein flies home I'll head to Sau Paulo where another friend's going to be. Ricky might also fly in from the US. Need to decide what to do about Carnival.

Brilliantly, two other friends are going to be in Buenos Aires at the same time as us. Me, Stein, Sarah and George together in BA. Now that IS going to be fun!
