Today Eli, me, and a ton of hostel people went to two of the most beautiful beaches in the city of Rio: Prainha and Grumari. They are simply gorgeous. So we sat around, ate, watched the crazy surfers in the enormous waves, and the boys played rugby with a coconut and some soccer. We also saw a goat head on the beach at Prainha. Yup, a goat head. I suspect some Candomble ceremony, but being Brazil, who knows?
And this is Prainha. It's gorgeous.
Also, Eli informed me we currently have almost no channels on the TV. I was like, "Oh, well we should call NET then." (The cable company) He laughed. "Do you think that will do any good? We have stolen cable. Almost everyone does." I was perplexed. "You mean...our landlord uses stolen cable?" "Yeah, everyone does because it's so expensive." I made him call our landlord, who said that NET had managed to start blocking illegal cable users and he was going to try to find a way to fix it--or actually pay for it. This is Brazil.
