Great report, OZ... Love your account of the trip.. The pictures are great and make me feel like I am there as well. One suggestion-how about more pics of the current boys you meet. I would love to see the boy you fell in lust with on day two...

One suggestion I learned from Tomcal--In my first three trips to Rio, I always did the usual thing of changing into a towel upon getting there which meant my phone and/or camera were in my locker. Tomcal stayed in his street clothes, thereby having his phone (cameraphone) with him at all times. That makes it much easier to get pics at any given time.

I didn't go with him to a room and cameras are not allowed in the main public areas. Plus, after I told him no thanks, I don't think he would be interested in me taking his photo. ;) But, I have not lost interest in him. Hey, I am doing much better on this trip than the past one with photos. LOL My friend Firecat always bitches at me about no photo. Tom is the photo king. I'll never live up to his photos, but I'll try to take a few. I know most of us are visual. ^_^ Esp. when it comes to boys. ^_^

Day 3

It was a great day today and full of excitement and joy. Although, I'll say up front, there are no boy photos today. It was more of a cultural day for me.

After breakfast, I went to the Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS) on Avenida Europa 158. I was there shortly after it opened. It is one of my favorite spots in Sao Paulo but you need to check what exhibit they have there. I have planned this trip for months and I have been more excited to see this exhibit than just about any other part of my trip. Ai Weiwei is the Chinese dissident artist who was arrested and imprisoned in 2011 and the show today was hundreds of his photos that have never been on display in South America.

It really was an amazing show. Unfortunately, they don't allow photography inside. But, his works took over the entire space and I loved every moment. I especially love this work from the 1980's and 90's in NYC. The photo of him with Alan Ginsberg was beautiful as were his images from Wigstock and Al Sharpton marching hand in hand with Tawana Brawley. I love his photos of his native China and the vast spaces he designed and built and photographed at every point of construction. Some of the most moving photos were the ones he took of his father and family when he returned home to China after the father was sick. It really was an amazing exhibit and I am so glad I went.

After that, I went to Paulista Avenue to have lunch. I ate at a local diner and had some quick food as I wanted to hit the MASP next.

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a place I have been many times but they have a large collection and they put out different paintings and I wanted to see what was there. It was a beautiful collection and I really enjoyed it. They had a little bit of everyone there. The museum is not big like the Smithsonian and it is only about 3 floors high and thus you can't spend days inside but they put out great effort to make a great exhibition and I enjoyed it. I think their room dedicated to Gods and Madonnas: The Art of the Sacred was a great collection. They also had a great collection of art from the Romantics.

Both museums were enjoyable and really made my day special.

To make the day even more special, I had dinner with my friend Danilo. For those of you that don't remember, Danilo is my friend for 10 years now and I met him on my 2nd trip to Rio and he instantly became my tour guide and friend. He and I have stayed in touch for 10 years and every time I am in the city, he and I get together and have dinner a few times. I have met his entire family and all his boyfriends over the years and he has met all my Brazilian boys over the years. It was great to see him.

We had dinner at Lellis Trattoria Rua Bela Cintra, 1849 | Jd Paulista, Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil

Lellis is one of the best Italian Restaurants in the city. It is family style so you really only need to order one item and you can share it with 1 or 2 other people. We decided on the Shrimp Risotto and it was great. The place was empty when we got there as Danilo was meeting me right after his work and he has to be up early tomorrow for more work. The dinner was great and I highly recommend it to anyone.

For those that have met Danilo and want an update. He looks fantastic. He is still the beautiful young guy that you know. He looks healthy and happy. He has a new car and he works giving tours to tour groups. I'll tell you more about that in the next few days. But, rest assured, he is doing well.

He drove me back to my hotel and I was inside by 10PM. So, no saunas today. Today was my day to do some things I have wanted to do for a while and my feet are sore from walking all over the city. My belly is full with good food and my day is over with a smile on my face!

I forgot the prices for the meal. The place is not cheap. We both had 2 drinks (non alcoholic) and the shrimp risotto. The total bill was 195 R.

I have eaten here about 10 times over the years and really love it. As you can see from the photos, the place is packed and reserved each night. They are usually booked so try to make reservations in advance.

I do know that this is an expensive meal. You can eat very inexpensively like I did at the market downtown or you can eat more upscale. This place in in the Jardines and the area itself is very expensive. My friend has an apartment there they paid 50,000R for 10 years back. They just got offered 2Millon for it. The Brazil economy is booming and thus people are able to eat out at places like this.

Day 4

Today, I did nothing. :smile:

I caught up on some work that was falling behind since my travels started. It was a day that I did not venture far from the hotel for the entire day.

At night, I had dinner with my beloved boy in Sao Paulo and his wife. They are a cute couple and it was fun to see them together. I think he tells her he is my bodyguard and she must believe him. But, his full-time job is that of a waiter. I met him in the saunas years ago and have seen him every day I am in Sao Paulo for many years. He is a sweetheart and it is always good to have him over.

For this trip, I bought him a new IPad so he has been sitting in my hotel room playing with the IPad for hours each day. I think he likes games even more than my Thai boyfriend. Technology down here is very expensive and when I asked him what he wanted he said an IPad. I got him the new mini. He loves it.

Other than dinner, I did not leave the 2 block radius of my hotel for the day. I hope I saved up enough energy for a long day tomorrow as I have some fun things planned.

Figueira Rubaiyat

Rua Haddock Lobo 1738, Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil

The restaurant was amazing. I did not take my camera as I thought if it was good, I'd go back and dine there again to get some photos. I really didn't know how expensive the place was as I told my friend to pick out the place. I just showed up and he has reservations all set. For the 3 of us, the bill was slightly over 550R. I was lucky as I had the money (barely) and almost didn't have taxi money to return to the hotel. LOL And, while great, I wish I had been better prepared for the cost as my guy just figured I had the money as I pay him every night to stay with me. If he spoke better English, I would told him it was his time to bottom tonight as I already got fucked.

The place is built around a fig tree and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever eaten in. It is a steak house and the steak was fantastic. You can't go here unless you want to have some of the juiciest steak in the world. All the beef is raised on the owners farm. They also serve several Mediterranean dishes and we had some shrimp for appetizer. They shared a bottle of wine. I had water.

No, different boy. The boy at the Italian Restaurant was Danilo. He is not an escort. He is a tour guide and my friend.

The owner of Figueira Rubaiyat is a spanish guy from Galicia, Spain. Do you know how much is the IVA in Brazil? I recommend you the Barbacoa Restaurant. You have to take your boy to Oscar Freire Street, Shopping Cidade Jardim, Shopping JK Iguatemi and the hotel Fasano. Take a tour of the city by helicopter.

Check this video about the owner of F. Rubaiyat:

I DITTO the preceding comments by lurkerspeaks in terms of the first four sentences. Can't comment or ditto the second paragraph because I never have cell phones or cameras with me! -^_^ -^_^

Day 5

So today was a long day.

When I woke up, I had stepped on my Sony Camera and it would not function properly. I found the nearest Sony Store and it is in a mall nearby the hotel and I decided to walk as they said it would take 20-30 min.

After about 30 min. I knew I was headed in the wrong direction so I asked and was rerouted. I also keep the address of where I am going written down on paper as most people can't understand if I try to speak. I was pointed in the right direction. Again, I was lost.

After 1.5 hours walking, I got into a taxi and was only 2 blocks away. LOL

The Sony Store manager came out to help as he was the only one who spoke English. He and his workers played with it and could not fix it but they kept it and will have the service center take a look at it tomorrow. The Service Center is in a different location but the manager graciously offered to drive it over so I would not have to take a taxi there.

I ate lunch at the mall and I ate an a Por Kilo place. This is you pay for what you put on the plate. I didn't pill things that high but has some rice and beans, carrots, fish and I think they were quail eggs. I also had a desert. :smile: Total cost was 18R. with drink.

The lunch was good and tasty.

For the afternoon, I was tired and I rested.

I ended up at Lagoa today and the place was dead. Dead may not be the word for it but there were only about 10 clients there max. I was one of them and got a lot of attention. The guys were a bit rough for me and many of them were not in great shape. It was not the stellar cast I saw on Friday. I didn't see anyone I was interested in for the first hour but one guy I bought a drink for the other day came over and I had a drink with him.

The boy I fell in love with on Friday was not there. :( I should have just paid the fucking 300 as I have thought about him all weekend. ;)

Another guy was very cute and kept looking at me so I smiled back at him and he came over and chatted. He is blacker than space and beautiful ripped body. I love me a black boy especially if they look masculine and thuggy. Well, he looked masculine but no tattoos and not too thuggy but still very handsome. His name was Pablo and he is 23 year years old. He had a bit of a goatee and he had a nice six pack.

We chatted for a bit. But, when I say chatted, I mean we tried to chat as none of the boys I talk to speak English and it is a real hard time to get them to an understanding.

However, this one worked hard at it and so did I. He said he was a great kisser, he loved to suck dick and he was a bottom or top. Sold, I said to myself. I asked him how much and he said 150 and I said sorry. He said only 150 if he was great and I said no thank. He said 100 and I said OK.

We took a room and he was very nice. A great kisser, great orally and a great bottom. He got his 100 plus a tip.

Entrance at Lagoa is 40R. Drinks were 5R. Suite was 40R. Total bill for the day was 95R plus the money I gave to him.

I ate dinner at the little Brazilian Cafe right down the street from Lagoa and then took a taxi back to the hotel.

thank you for the information and pictures! I'm in love of Brazil!

Yes, muito obrigado! Glad you were able to meet with Danilo. While I read some of your earlier posts, I thought of him, for he's been on my Facebook page up until a few weeks ago. Guess he's hidden me. Don't know but will "search" his page when I finish here. Yes, indeed, he still looks darn good in his handsome, maturing state. He was my guide when he'd just turned 18, and was indeed stellar. We had great times. The next year he was my guide as well! Give him my regards when you see him--Eduardo in Monterey, CA.

Again, thanks for the excellent post and the outstanding pics. Makes me want to return to SAMPA, my least favorite city in Brasil, for it is so damn too, too, too large for me which makes traveling take a long time or becoming expensive via taxis.

now u know why i love Brasil! the pic below is of a guy I met/picked up on a street corner in Copacabana at noon! He was on his way to work at a retail store, and in the 2 minutes it took for the light to change I give him the apt. address and he came over that evening(and the next afternoon) He was bigger, more muscular then I typically like, but for a noon pickup he was perfect!

Indeed, "for a noon pickup he was perfect." For me he would be great anytime! Looks damn good...!

Tomcal is one of the few people I know who can get laid crossing the street.

Day 7

Today was my date day. :smile:

I decided it would not be good to go to the mall today so I had lunch at the Mercado Municipal again. Once again, I loved it. I had the shrimp pocket and an orange juice.

I also headed back over to Lagoa today and found my two boys from the previous night. It took me less than 10 min to find them, get everything arranged and get the suite. Suite 24 was available and I much prefer that one. So, we went for it. I was back to the hotel before 8PM and had time to shower and relax a bit.

My date picked me up around 10 and we went to dinner. It was fun and he picked the place. It was very cheap but it was one of those all you can meat places. It was not a tourist place and very local. We ate full dinner and drinks for less than 70R. and he offered to pay. WHAT? I was surprised. I guess he doesn't know I am here for the saunas and I didn't tell him and he never asked.

He then took me to his apartment and we chatted and had a great time. He pays 3k R for a nice 2 bedroom apartment. 5 people share the apartment so it makes it very reasonable for them. It it in a very nice area but the space is pretty small. I met 2 of his roommates and they were also nice but not great at English. I stayed with him for a long time and then he took me back to my place.

If I were living here, he would be boyfriend material for sure. Smart, intelligent and a great conversationalist. Plus, a super sweet guy!

In the context of your storyline what does date mean? It appears to mean someone you had dinner with + conversation afterwards. Is that the "full" story? Just curious.

Best regards,

No, there was much more to the story but for now, I prefer to just keep the "date" to myself. It is someone I can see returning to Sao Paulo for a long visit.
