New Record Set

[ihpguy]

Campo Grande, on the west side of Rio de Janeiro, set a new record not seen since 1915. 109degress. 43.2 Celsius. In Saude, part of the Zona Portuaria, close to Meio Mundo and the Praca Maua, reached 106degrees or 41.3 today. Usually Bangu and Campo Grande are the hotest part of Rio de Janeiro as there is a depression in the land out there and the heat just seems to build and build. But surprising as to how hot it is near the water here on Guanabara Bay. Going for a swim in the mud on New Year's Eve should be close to jumping into a tub of loose, fresh poop. Yech. Tradition says that a mudbath on January 1st brings you good health for the coming year. Unfortunately I don't think I can send in one of my dogs by proxy.

I have been in Rio in January- my first visit- and boy was it hot. humid too. But not this hot. So stay cool if you can. The A/c bill must be high...or do you even have A/C? Some like to do without it, but I could not.

AC in all four of the bedrooms, along with ceiling fans as well. Living room with ceiling fan only but the adjacent bedroom with the door open does cool it down as well. However, living on top of a hill in front of the water, I do get really great fresh air from all directions. But I did have to run the air for three nights in a row. I was afraid that the seals might have dried out when I attempted to switch it on. Big fingers crossed moment.I hadn't needed to turn the air on for four years actually. Luckily, Lucky, it worked. Saturday we were into the mid-nineties and last night after a short but strong shower it was very pleasant sleeping once more.

It was much hotter and sweatier last night in the suites at Meio Mundo, most of which were lacking air. I was in heaven with a Dylan McDermott look-alike.

Wow! A Dylan McDermott look-alike! So sexy! Photo? = )

Here are a couple of the look-alike in the pool on New Year's Eve/Reveillon and one of the baby bro'

[Guest leokeys2]

There's a baby bro as well? Wow! = ) I love it! = )

[ihpguy]

Yes. There is a baby bro' who I have nicknamed the"filhote" or "puppy." His given and nicks are more than a mouthful for me to pronounce, Elijairo and Jairzinho, so it is just easier to call him Filhote. Like a good puppy, he has learned his name quickly and comes when called.

Ahhhhhhh! Look what you guys are doing to me!!! "Mother Brasil" is further beckoning me to return in August 2013. Right now my plans are merely mental, but my sexual libido is physical and alarming!

[Guest leokeys2]

Go axiom2001! = )

[Guest leokeys2]

Filhote is cuter! More yummy! Hahaha. = )

He's a little puppy(filhote in Portuguese)that needs lots and lots of training. And I already have a puppy in the house that needs my attention. My bitch popped out nine of them on September 6th. The older brother has experience and knows what's what.
