Rio de Janiero

(From Left to Right) Me, Rachel, Cecivon, and Courtney totally obscuring the scenic view.

Not gonna lie, Rio de Janiero was pretty annoying. I was there for 6 days and it rained on 5 of them. List of things I wanted to do in Rio:

• Take a surfing lesson
• Chill on world-famous Copacabana Beach
  
• Try Hang-gliding
• See Christ the Redeemer/Enjoy the view from Corcovado Mountain
• Visit Sugarloaf Mountain/Enjoy the view from Sugarloaf Mountain (pictured)

Notice a pattern here? Can’t really do any of these things if it’s raining/cloudy.

Anyhow, one morning I thought I’d make breakfast for everybody since Rachel had made breakfast for everybody the day before. Stroll into the kitchen, fire up the stove, and proceed to make Egg-in-a-Basket (pictured). What I did not plan on, was destroying the glass “stove cover” (also pictured). Really somebody thought it was a good idea to make it necessary to remove part of the stove before cooking? It’s just bad engineering. Anyway, fortunately I wasn’t maimed when the glass exploded everywhere. Reidtard strikes again.

The other major culinary experience of Rio was Açaí. Açaí is a berry about the size of a grape, and the pulp is VERY popular as a kind of juice/smoothie thing. It's usually mixed with granola, but is also mixed with other fruits/protein powder/etc on request. Eating Açaí turns your teetch and tongue purple. Attempts to turn one's (e.g. Rachel's) poop the color purple through eating large quantities of Açaí were unsuccessful.
