Last One Standing

For the last two nights I have been the last of the group still in Brazil. In travel writing terms the, "last one standing". Luckily I had several nights in Buzios with Victoria Rivers and her Texas freinds. It is like a poker game, her buddies left the afternoon before her. Next afternoon she left. Two days later I left. Her freinds though had to scramble from a lobster and grouper lunch on the beach. Sad because they got to pick and choose the actual sea creatures. We however ate a huge meal as the surf pounded near by. Hope they caught the bus to Rio then the plane to Texas.

Tonight I am on the 14th floor of the Everest Hotel overlooking Ipanema Beach. Tried checking into Caeser Park right next to the Everest. My hotel is 1/3rd the price and they are letting me have my room till six PM tommorow. Funny how when it is your dime, you will find a bargain. Tried to post some pictures of Paraty and Buzios but didn't happen. Will try again in the morning. Ready to report home before heading out again.
