Well here we are, pretty much our final destination in South America barring a few days on the beach south of here to wait for our flight to LA. We're off to the SAMBADROME tonight for some serious carnival action and afterwards down to the beach to perfect our bronzing and a little bit of people watching - those tinted sunglasses might well come in handy!!!! Went to the Maracana yesterday to see the Rio cup final between Flamengo and Fluminese, the equivalent of Liverpool v Everton but with 65,000 mad brazilians!! Well we had better go and get ready for the party!! Hope all is well!!! Matt & Helen
