Rio
I am now in Rio for the Latin American Studies Association conference, so blogging will be light. I have two presentations (one on Chilean politics and one on blogging) so am now going over those while drinking a Brahma. Quickly looking it up, I find it was first produced by a Brazilian company, which then merged with InBev, which in turn is a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch Inbev. All of which is not as fun as just thinking I am drinking Brazilian beer.
Maybe it's time for a caipirinha.

Greg,
Brahma is like Bud and it's crap beer. Caipirinhas are better, but if you want to drink beer in Brazil, Caracu [that's a Tup-Guarani word, not what you think it is) and Xingu are much better.
Where are you staying?
Thanks for the beer tip. I am staying at a hotel on Rua Bolivar.
Today I got to see the room where Vargas killed himself. They kept the furniture in the exact same places, and even display the gun. Kind of creepy, actually.
And I haven't had fruit juices this good since I was in Costa Rica.
Greg,
No funds in PA for out-of-state travel. Missing LASA...well, the social part...already. I'd love a report when you get back on the buzz at the conference.
OMG, you're in Copacabana. Be careful if you walk around there at night.
Interesting about Vargas's room. I didn't even know they had tours of the Catate Palace.
Agree with you about the fruit juices. Have a bowl of acai if you can.
