Now that i got my vaccinations i am planning a return to Rio, Porto Alegre and São Paulo. I haven’t been to POA for over a year and 1/2 so i am anxious to get back there! i spoke to the of the guys who i know there and we are having 6 guys to a party at the apartment i rent there and he sent me photos of each of the guys today! the guy organizing this also works at Mezziniu sauna which he said is still open. after the weekend in Porto Alegre i go to Rio for 7 days and then São Paulo for 3 days! the

i spoke to a guy several days ago and he said it was still open but sent this dismal photo of the number of people there!

after i got the notice I received a second email about 15 minutes later saying i had completed and was eligible to fly on the flight i was scheduled on! i was never asked to show it again when i boarded 2 days later!

i have been to Brazil(Rio and São Paulo)twice since the end of october and saw more everyday precautions taken there then in SoCal where i live! So no i am not worried! i just got back Monday from Merida Mexico and they also had more protocols in place the SoCal. two days ago i got the first of 2 injections of the Pfizer Vacine, the 2nd dose is on 2/24 but i take the normal precautions and I am fine as is a travel buddy that was also there!

In Merida you get it back between a 1/2 hour to 10 hours after you take it, cost bring the only difference. We took ours at 9:00 am and got the written results back at 6:00 pm

i am flying back to SoCal tomorrow from Merida so Yesterday morning the nurse showed up at the house and then to a take a Covid test swab on both throat and nose. they had the results emailed back to me 10 hours later, We were both negative so they send you a form it says that and you can download the form right to united’s website and about 3 minutes later cleared me to leave on Monday! their site so slick quick and easy and no problem at all all

i had my test done this morning at my home in Merida! i leave Monday for Calif.

we decided to make a quick trip to Cancun for 2 days on Wednesda, it is a 4 hour bus ride (my first) i booked a room at the JW Marriott which is a 450 room hotel of which about 25 appeared occupied! it really was like having a whole resort to yourself. On thursday a warm sunny day there were about 20 persons in the acre size pool that meanders through the property! the first night we ate in one of the hotels restaurants on a outside balcony and we were the only ones in the restaurant, it was a excellent dinner! on thursday night we went off property to a Ruth Chris Steakhouse , it was moderately busy with about 20 people dining! most people were wearing masks but I did not feel ness as safe as Merida which is in a different state, (Yucatán)? from Cancun. (Quinta Roo), and has a much greater infection rate then Yucatán due to the Governor being mush more pro active in Yucatan where as a example liquor sales were banned for 7 months while Cancun was party central! i had a fun two days but i brought my own Brazilian and enjoyed the amenities but didn’t mingle!

since i got here 3 different guys have been messaging me asking when they can come over? i told them my BF is here with me and i can’t see them but instead of accepting that they message me 2 hours later and ask again! today it started in again! the one only wants a6 pack of beer! it has been warm and sunny and the nights cool! perfect weather! today we went to this newer mall which would put anything in the OC to shame but there were less then 50 customers or about one for every 3 stores!

let’s see if i can be coherent on this post! sorry guys! i got to merida at 10:00 last night and realized i had 2 sets of jerky’s for the Rio apt and none for the Merida house!!! luckily when i called my property manager she said “i figured you would drew it up somewhere so i put a extra set of keys in a lockbox under the bush! she is great! then in the morning since i hadn’t been here in 14 months i wanted to inspect the property l! it was in great shape! At 4:00 i went to pick up my Brazilian Namorado and we have been drinking Margaritas ever since! So far a great start!

Arriving at my home in Merida today! i haven’t been here in almost 14 months! But my Brazilian bf is joining mel there so there won’t be any fooling around with others this trip! j It is his 5th trip there and he wants open a dental practice there and keep the one in Copa and live in Mexico but go back to Rio for a week every 3 months! i told him unless he is very sure of the stuff he has in Rio i see it as a recipe for disaster! But it is his clinic and choice and he is very excited by the idea....i am trying very hard to keep quiet about my opinion on this! The next 10 days are supposed to be sunny and mid 80’s in Merida! :-)

I spoke to a guy today who worked there and Mezziniu is permanently closed! He said the guys have gone back to Plataforma Sauna to work! While i had a lot of fun there from 2004 to 2006 there Once Mezziniu opened i never went back! it is old, with zero improvements done! in 2004 it was old... but is now the only place in town!

I wouldn’t but that is the HO in me talking!! U don’t want to be stuck for 3 das there if after the first hour with him u find out he not everything u are looking for!otr at least go to the saunas te first week and go to Goainia the end of your trip! U are kinda isolated there especially fora first time visitor! just my 2 cents!

When i was at Pointe 3 weeks ago, Junior said it’s been rough but he is holding on! I have to say the place is cleaner and looks better then it has in recent memory! Junior’s son works at the front desk and is 21, about 4” taller then Junior and is a really nice guy! i told him we originally met when he was 2 years old! LOL

Basically it’s all meaningless unless u get covid! You play the odds with covid and stds etc! depends on what level of risk u are willing to take. I have always been more of a risk taker. As i said i was there for 25 days in 2 months during 2 trips! i had sex with approximately 25 + guys (many repeats 2 guys came every afternoon to my apartment! Another i saw 4 different nights for sleepover(, i also had a 5 way, ....i came back covid and std free! For me it was worth it!

Q at the sauna: Are folks naked? Underwear? Up to the person? A: whatever u are comfortable in! wear a towel wrapped around uour waist or your street clothes you will se many of both! Ouare wrong about Airbnb! it’s the way to go unless you are a sticker for room service! imho Tiooing is individual! in 20 years of going i have never tipped but i do take certain guys to dinner and drinks if i like them! Some friends of mine tip 20! i have never noticed a difference in the attention paid or not paid to us because of tipping so if u like to tip go for it! Q:Do you rent a room when you go in? I see a few posts where it says the guy gets the room? What are room rates and do you get one for the night or for each visit. A: Usuallythe bout gets the room, there is a difference in price although the rooms are not any different really at 117, all rooms upstairs having round beds. at pointe there are several prices depending on room size and bed size but the difference in price i think is around 10 R on the non free suite nights! that is whyTuesday at 117 and Wed at Pointe are the most popular because rooms are free! Coid is ..well covid be informed and educate tuiurself and then make ty our end decisions! i was in Brazil twice i. the last 90 das for a total of 25 days, i am healthy! U can pm me if u have any other questions i

the above price i quoted was R/T!

Your tracked flight to Rio de Janeiro is now $493 (was $555)

i have 4 French Bulldogs and love them more then anything!

i covered that 2 weeks ago in my post on Rio and SP as far it pertains to the saunas!

Heading back to Brazil the end of February! Airline tickets are at great prices right now!

Try writing a cognitive paragraph on a phone after a drink or two! :-) it’s. not too easy for. a old guy! lol

i didn’t write about Do you do on Saturday night with the couple! they are really really nice guys! Very sweet and so unlike the bitchy queens we all run across! they told me they already have most of the money saved to come to Mexico this. coming spring to visit! i can’t wait although i hope to be back to brazil before then! last night at Lagoa was Karaoke night(ugh), and it attracts a different type of client and most of the rent boys there are older - 28 to 35+ and not as attractive as what we are used to at Lagoa! although there were a few gems among them! Went to te airport about 7:30and the place like a ghost town!? no lines at security you just breeze right thru! in business class there are 50 seats band only 6 were filled!!

in case be it when I posted in under heading north Rio/ SP trip in December, I just completed two trips to Rio and São Paulo, 2 - 12 day trips! I can sign as he say that they have more precautions in place in Rio and São Paulo And they do in orange county California where I live! everyone is tested with a Thermometer at every bar,restaurant, and sauna I was at! Everyone on urge street was wearing masks in Ipanema and Copa!
