Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday evening, and I am exhausted. Teaching so many classes from Monday to Thursday has taken a toll on me. The only relief is that tomorrow is Friday and the weekend, but Thursdays are always tough. It feels like the peak of the mountain that I have been […]
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. […]
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. I have had to choose the templates for all my sites. I have bought a new pair of glasses and am just waiting for them to be ready. […]
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 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, cool and overcast. It’s Saturday, and although it’s a bit chilly by Carioca standards, I’ve decided to give myself a challenging workout. I woke up at six in the morning and hit the streets by 6:30. I went straight to the park to begin. To avoid losing count, I chose to do a long-extended exercise […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Rio is experiencing a relatively warm Autumn, with temperatures averaging 22 and 26 degrees Celsius. It feels warm in the sun but cool in the shade. I recently watched a video on YouTube from someone in England who was saying that they were experiencing scorching weather, with temperatures reaching 29 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is the first day of the new working week after a very enjoyable weekend. This week is also unique because it is Yasmin’s birthday. Brazil is in a state of decay at the moment, with every day you hear about a new bad story with possible terrible consequences for […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, hottish and beautifully sunny. I am writing this entry one day late, on Monday, June 5th. I am writing my journal at 9 a.m on a concrete bench and table in Carmen Miranda Park in front of Aterro and the Bay. The only benches with tables in the park are on an elevated hill overlooking […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. Today is Friday, the second day of the new month. It’s been almost a month since I started living with my ex-wife and daughter. Living with Yasmin is not a problem, even with her mood swings. It’s bearable, and interestingly enough, living with Nalva is not so bad either. We […]
