Big thanks to Jason for putting on great pics for us. We both appreciate! We have been exploring and went into Art Museum, followed by trip in a boat all round some islands in the lake around here.
Sue says: we seem to have been staying in hotels in the red light areas, but no takers as yet. We also ended up in a Gasometer, which is a first. I hit a hippy market and bought some useless objects and tonight we journey all night to Uruguay. Lets hope they let us in.
Ros again: we say goodbye to Brasil for the time being. It has changed since either of us were last here, for Sue only 2 yrs. and for me 13. From where we have been considerably less obvious poverty - so things are either a little better for the poor, or they are being more efficiently kept off the streets. Also a definite increase in middle class consumerism. As we go down into Uruguay it is going to all be new for both of us.

hi Ros and Sue, I have finally been shown by Tristram how to post a comment without having to go through the seemingly impossible registration onto Google. You just type in the identification and then scroll down to the bottom and click the orange box and nothing else.
We had two days when the temps rose above freezing - now down to minus 2 even in sunshine - weird, but beautiful. I love reading your comments and Jason's pictures really make it come alive. Tristram has been here for the last 3 days doing painting and helping meshift v heavy furniture, as I am getting the front room ready for more lodgers.
had a nice christmas and new year, went on 11 trains and slept in 8 different beds. On NY eve, the lock on my friend's house broke, so we had to go back to the people who we had been celbrating with and "couch surf" (they are all quite posh and were a bit funny about the idea when I described it at differ)- on Boxing Day I went over to Loch Lomond to stay with some more cousins and during a large family walk, Brackentheir border terrier who is 15 went missing so we spent 2 days searching for her in sub zero conditions(though beautiful) My cousin Fenella and her husband Dave adore their dog - so it was all v sad. then 5 days later a farmer found her and she was OK - amazing dogs arent they?
I love hearing all the details and Ithink you are brilliant the pair of you.
love fenella
