1 week into my trip. Not knowing the special days in RIO saunas, planned weekend stay in Rio by mistake. Went to meio mundo on Sep 29 around 5. About a dozen boys there, more coming in later. More boys than clients. Not any knockouts ( I like twink boy next door type, not into muscle or 6 pack abs). Went up with a very outgoing dark boy, who kisses me in front of other people and giggles frequently. To convince me, he even took me to a corner, swallowed my half hard cock to the end! I was sold:) he is a great bottom, small twink build, decent boyish face. All for 70 (asked for 80)! Rio rocks! He gestured afterwards for food, but not knowing any their language, I decide to just call it a night. Give him 10 extra for being so pleasant. Being 1st time visitor to the beautiful city, I made the mistake walking all day long the two days in niteroi and central. My legs are killing me, as the burn on my neck. The central area is deserted ( metro Carioca) at 5:30 pm on Sunday. I quit while walking to the metro planning to hit 117 on Sunday the 30th. Plenty opportunities later. First impression of Rio, stunningly beautiful. Amazons the next!

Since I only have one sat night in MM to compare with, it's probably not very fair, but lagoa is on a whole different level! Way way better! Day one was Friday night, arrived at 4:30. Got locker 51. Quite busy already with more than 2 dozen boys and a bit fewer clients. After walking around a bit, it's very clean and all staff are very professional. The client lockers are right by the reception, all the boys keep themselves out of there respectfully. Not at all like someone commented boys would steal your stuff or staff will over charge you. There are 3 boys I would love to go after. While in MM there were barely one. One tanned slim white boy with some exotic (non-north american) look, one a bit beefier skater boy, one Latino boy. Except for the skater boy, the other two are in their jeans. Someone has commented these boys not in towels might have a bit attitude and ask for more. However, the tanned boy notice my smile at him, walked over right away. I was smitten already with his prettier than girls but not girlish looks, so even though he is not very warm, I didn't bother bargaining when he asked for 100. He asked the staff for the good room (40). The session was ok, he is cooperating when btm, but find excuses to give head with a condom even though we agreed otherwise beforehand. A good enough experience though. Name is junior, we chatted over google translate a bit, he asked to come to my hotel, but he is rather distant during the chat, so I said goodbye. Still a good night. Tonight is the second night, I went a bit later arriving at 5:30. A lot of boys and clients there already, much busier than yesterday. Got the locker 101 this time. Junior is there, actually i ran into him at cathedral Se earlier. he was talking to a girl by a light post. no words, but we did exchanged a thumb up. But not anyone else in the same caliber tonight. Junior came to say hi, but still distant, so I told him maybe later. Around 6:00, both the other two boys from yesterday arrived. However, the Latino boy hooked up with someone soon. We said hello while he waited for his client to get the room. He is much warmer with a nice smile. The skater boy is in heated chat with another boy for a long time and didn't respond to my stare. 6:30, more boys arrived. It seems I was a bit early yesterday. At least two more boys are even better looking came in. I normally don't fall for guys over 6 feet, but this boy is just way too handsome. He is also very friendly, nice smile and sampled some kisses when I asked if he kisses. Name is daniel. He asked for 150, and immediately explained apologetically over google translate that it's his first time here. Not that I mind the price at all. But I did ask him to throw in a few photos. He agreed after a few seconds. Man, is this a much better session. He kisses and give head with a passion, and has a hard on himself once we started. They have mirrors in the more expensive room, definitely worth it! Heavenly! Now that I hit 40, there s no way I can do more than once a night. But if only I could as I check out an hour later, I am wishing I can live in São Paulo already. Only scheduled 3 nights here, since comments suggesting RIO boys do it better. I can hardly imagine that. Will comment next week after I check out 117.

I got there just about five and the place was already really busy. Lots and lots of boys ditto clients. When I left at about 8:40 there were lines downstairs for the bigger rooms and a line going up the stairs to the free cabines. Biggest news - Vinicius is back. No clue who had that idea. But last night they had on nice music in the bar which improved the vibe. And they are back with expanded food offerings. Misto Quente (Ham and Cheese grilled) and French Fries. So that is a good thing. They have added a new part to the stage and a few new decorations to what was there for the past month or so. I was told that the new crop of very cute younger guys circulating last night are from the sauna in Bangu. Little young for me but one cuter than the next. And of course, still unspoiled. I had some nice moments with a mammothly-hung Edmilson( I think that is what he told me - as I was mesmerized by the meat hanging between his thighs). His nickname is Scorpion. And it really does sting as it does more than tickle one's throat. Or the nether region's. It does rather sting. I was more than a bit surprised that last night I saw one of the attendant's actually spritzing the dry sauna with the eucalpytus spray for a bit of fragrance aside of the redolent manscent in other areas of the house. Will wonders never ceases? Ruan, one of my long-time favorites was there last night. But another client got hold of him quite literally in the bar and wouldn't let him go until sending him to wait in one of the lines for a cabine. Maybe he'll be around next time as well. One of the waiters from Pointe has started there as well. He said that Pointe is dead and the owner has cut back and doing more of the work himself, whatever that is supposed to mean. But with Vini back prospects for Meio Mundo look promissing.

Flying out Monday oct 1, cursing myself for not reading the posts here and missed Monday at mm. Arriving Manaus close to 4pm. Traffic jam into town, as the road in city is only two lanes each way. 50 to get to hotel prearranged. Driver doesn't speak any English. Hotel is cheap and all locals. Cultural shock kicks in not knowing how to turn on the light ( drop key card into the slot beside the door), no restaurant catering to foreigners around the area ( so I can order stuff by pointing at the item or pictures), and I am drenched in the feel like 45 weather in a 15 min walk around the hotel. Bought two slices of watermelon only for dinner. Feel like trapped in prison not having a guide. Grindr is very active though. To be fair, every front desk staff, all young men, though not speak a word of English, are all very nice and tried to help. Arranged a tour at a lodge deep in the amazon system, 4 hours away from manaus by boat, car, taxi, boat again. All pick up are on time and efficient. Great 3 days in the middle of nowhere watching lightening and listening to nature. Caught a pariah on my first ever fishing attempt as well. Also great the driver in manaus speaks fluent English! Back to manaus thurs afternoon with my flight at midnight to São Paulo, it's great he agrees to drive me to h20 and pick me up at 10pm. All for 60. H20 is compact with nice facilities. Fresh smelling steam room, clean throughout. About 50 lockers, only open 5-10. About a dozen people visited during the night, all locals, one boy discreetly offering massage but not my type. Did manage to hook up with a slim decent looking local boy, had a great time in the dark room. As all other brazilians, he gave me a thumb up when he left, I gave him one back. Great place to kill a few hours if u need to wait for flight. 25 for the night. No food offering though. Pick up to airport is again right on time, free wifi in the small but ok airport. Lagoa is the next!

I just moved everything to First Citizens, a regional bank down here with low fees and a branch manager whom I trust to be able to fix anything should they make a mistake. Left Bank of America, with whom I've been trying for 3 years to de-link myself from a business account I'm no longer co-owner of, and they have yet to figure out how to make that happen. Fucked up.
