Have met some really nice people. We got involved in a local party on the way home one night and got completely covered in foam and bubles. Have doen all the typical tourist stuff now and will be quite glad to leave the city tomorrow and get out in the countryside.

Went to see this big guy yesterday (and Katie I got a picy of his toe for you, i'll send soon) Yesterday was a full day of tourist stuff. Going up throught the forest in Corcovada to see this statue in the morning. Cablecars up sugarloaf mountain in the afternoon for some of the most amazing views ever. Then the scectacle that is the sambarome in the evening. Twas a very long day so i might just have to laze on Copacobana beach for a few hours this afternoon.
