Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, sunny and clear sky. It is Wednesday, the penultimate day of the month. I am still happy about resolving my Brazilian ID issue, but now I am more interested in what I will do for the next month and the second half of the year. I like the number 3 and its multiples. In […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, sunny and clear sky. I am still happy after resolving the issue with my Brazilian ID at the federal police yesterday. Today, I was up early with some effects of a dying cold, but I was ready to take on the world, or at least the day and the next part of my journey. […]
Monday the 26th of June 2023:“The Challenges of Being a Foreigner in Brazil: Prejudice and Hypocrisy”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. Today is Monday, the start of the week, and it’s Federal Police Day for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep well last night, a recurring problem. I suspect it might be due to anxiety about the upcoming week or my appointment with the federal police. I didn’t exercise today […]
Sunday the 25th of June 2023: “Rua Nova Mundo: A Journey through Botafogo and Laranjeiras”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. It is Sunday, and it is a beautiful day, but I am still a little down with a lingering cold. The plan is to get up early, work out in the park, have coffee at the Portuguese baker’s, and then maybe walk to Urca. Urca is my church, […]
Saturday the 24th of June 2023:“Exercise, Bureaucracy, and the Power of Walking”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky.

On Monday, I have an appointment with the Federal Police and must take some documents. Yesterday, I sorted them, including which needed to […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny. It is Friday, the end of the working week for most and almost the end of the month. The week has been reasonably good.

Thursday the 22nd of June 2023:“Dona Vera’s Optician’s in Copacabana”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny. Thursday, and I am still with a cold, and it seems to have stuck. Even so, up and out early for a light exercise session in the park. Back and washed by ten to seven and working with my first class at seven. Classes are direct until two pm, and then I […]
Wednesday the 21st of June 2023:“Balancing Intuition, Responsibility and Multiple Domains”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. As I mentioned yesterday, progress is slow but constant, and it is good as long as new possibilities appear to encompass the final goal. Many successful people swear that the journey is more important than the destination. Enjoy every part of the journey, and do not worry so much about […]
Tuesday the 20th of June 2023:“Therapeutic Walks and Capturing the Beauty of Early Mornings in Rio de Janeiro”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. My cold is getting worse, and I think I am going to die. I am taking medicine, which is a question of weathering the storm out: an early walk, no exercise, and some photos. When I had the dogs, I would love to go on long walks with them, drinking […]
Monday the 19th of June 2023:“A Journey of Self-Development: Balancing Responsibility and Resilience”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, cool, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is the beginning of the new working week. The goal for this week is to define the templates for the sites so that from July on, it is just a question of configuring and customising them. It is a little daunting to develop so many sites simultaneously; however, as […]
