Thurs, last day in RIo



Nora and i got up early to a horrible downpour. We planned on chillin at the beach the whole day, but this was cancelled, and headed to our 2nd home, the hostel to look up some museums we could check out. We decided on Niteroi's Modern Art Museum, and figured we could see Gabriel afterward for dinner. Well we took the metro, we took the ferry, and we thought we walked down the correct street when we got off the ferry-but this wasnt true. We couldn't find the museum we were looking forward to going to, but we did go to a buffet on our own. Where they weighed the food by 100 grams, it was just ok food, interesting though, and ended up costing only 9 Reis. Frustrated by asking multiple people and not getting a clear answer about the wherabouts of the museum we gave up and went to a mall mainly to people watch, and to not be out in the rain. We met up with Gabriel and Tolga (the Turkish dude who lives in Buenos Aires) and we walked over to the Museum, only to find by the time we got there, it was closed. We went to dinner that had the best view of Rio -because Niteroi is across the ocean from Rio. We had good sanwiches there, where they put pineapple slices on all- and it tasted good with my chicken sandwich!


We then took a bus to catch our bus to back to Campinas, only after stopping in to get our last Acai (a Brazilian treat-Acai, fruit, ice, yummy goodness in each spoonfull). This was another overnight bus ride, but we slept like babies.




Sorry not many pics- forgot the camera.
