Thanks for all the detailed notes Tarte. It was truly a pleasure to read! And thanks again to Tomcal as well for being a virtual mentor / physical guide in the sauna. I have made several small trips to Brazil, but never had the stamina of you two even at a slightly younger age. Tarte - please don't mind some of the harsher comments here. I completely agree that gonnahrea is mostly invisible and not as huge a deal as many people make it to be. I have contracted twice - both out of sauna scene with random hookups. Also believe that without context, it's impossible to understand and judge another person's relationship, so like tomcal says, I agree with going about minding my own business. Anyways thanks again for the great read and I'm so glad you had a great time! P.S. I would not reimburse medical costs if I were you :-)
