Day 188 - Churrasco Dinner

Wally went to visit the city with Bruno after breakfast. Soon after, we were forced to evacuate this beautiful place on Copacabana Beach because a brawl occurred between a local and an Englishman from our group. We were afraid of possible gang retaliation.

Hans Buchser came to our rescue. He invited us to stay at his condo and arranged a parking spot for the camper.

In the evening, he played the Brazilian record Ursula had purchased and gave us one from his collection as a souvenir.

His next flight was to New York on the coming Saturday. He graciously offered to take our slides and movies with him and deliver them to our friends in Queens. What a lovely gesture - one thing less we have to worry about!

Wally figured we were at Hans's condo and joined us later in the afternoon. Hans accompanied Wally to a pharmacy where he could purchase better fungus medication.

Later Hans invited us to a Churrasco restaurant for dinner. Wow, what a special treat! We had not eaten such excellent meat in the last seven months. After that, we all watched a movie at the Copacabana theatre.

A day that started on a low ended on a high!
