Porto Alegre Shereton hotel Mezzaninu Plataforma Bar Mixx My hat is off to TomCal and all his advice from his posting on PA. Airport to hotel, Very easy, there is a white taxi booth next to airport exit door, and the flat rate is 26R for a no meter run to the Sheraton. (On the return from the Sheraton to airport the return cost was 20R with meter) so for the extra money and first time drive into town, do the flat rate until you get your sea legs. Sheraton Hotel They did their up sale with me. Which was fine for an extra 30 I got the “all the works” upgrade and it did make for a very nice stay. However the high floor, the executive level 15th floor and spa was just gilding the lily and was not really needed. So stay on low floor, pre-pay Internet, and breakfast with your pre booking. Food court in the mall was perfect for lunch, and the street in front of the Sheraton was just as tomcal had said, perfect for food, and a nice walk over a few short blocks. Lots of choices, the ice cream stand is very good, and the sushi place excellent. Taxi to Mezzaninu Was nervous about the first trip, I got a pro taxi, when I showed him the name and street, he said, “of course” must have been tomcals driver… 1st direct drive trip 16R. Other cabs did the same route and some took “the other way” the most expensive was 19.50R Mezzaninu, it is everything you want it to be, clean neat, well laid out, and the shower room-viewing booth is the best show in town. Friday, Saturday was packed, and Sunday was Sunday… Grotos a very nice mix, with lack of steroid bodies, but not to say a lack of hunks w/natural muscles. There was a Go Go boy by the name of Luis, who was amazing, one of the best bar top dancers I have seen in years. His show was an hour-long set. Only wish they had better stage lighting. The dressing room was great! No Grotos are allowed in the area, which I really like, they have their room, and we have our room. The Roof top deck, I did not know there was a roof top bar on the top of the building. Found it on the last night when one of the Grotos took me up for a drink. Plataforma a bust, dirty, smelled, never again... I understand it was THE place to go a few years ago. But its time has passed skip it. Remember to wash your hands after… Bar Mixx, I am glad I goggled the spot and saw street view. Easy to get to, I think it was 13R from Mezzaninu. An old school rough trade bar, but a lot of fun, and yes the Grotos did go from Mezzaninu for a “night cap”. The taxi almost missed it, but the hot pink out side does give it away in a good way. Over all, had a great weekend, it was cold for June, and needed a light jacket for the trip. It never got over 62, it did go down to 40 at night. T

TomCal, yes that is Luiz!, now shaved on the side, and a goatee. Saturday, after his set he did play the bingo master score keeper, when he is not dancing he has a wonderful smile, and says hello to everyone. T

TomCal I believe I saw this gogo boy when I was there in April, Do they go with the client as well ? and do what garoto does too ? I remember years ago there was cute hot muscle dancer but I dont know if you can take him out. They usually dont look at the clients , most of the time. Hey what is 16R ? and 13 R? I usually show the driver the printed map to Mezzaninu. Tealady, glad you like Mezzaninu and u had a nice trip.... I bet you will come back like me year after year when I first visited that sauna.!

Massage man at 117, Who knew a diamond in the rough? Wednesday night “Hat” or was it Hatay” can never get the names right. The massage man at the club 117, dressed in white, and with a smile on his face…. I was a slow night against the wall at the top of the grand staircase of dreams. I was sight seeing, and he came over to talk… well he whipped out his phone and showed me some self pix, turns out he is also an extra in movies, and does stunt work. Then he showed me his personal video hard and happy. Now why would he have that on his phone? He is 50, with wife and kids, and does massage work and film work. he motor bikes to work Needless to say I booked a massage for the next night. So glad I did, not only did he do it all, it was one of the best back cracking flexing massage I have every had. He asked if I was happy, and I said yes sir. So next time at the club check him out, ask to see his personal video, and then go from there…. i have a 2nd appointment this Tuesday night! T
