> Felix, there was plenty happening. I was in Rio de Janeiro with my friend,
the boy from Ipanema, and we were having a ball!  Corcovado, Pao de Azucar,
Baha Tatajuca, Ipanema, my buddie's parents, the best steak in the world,
the best pizza, mammao, great cerveza, the warming sun, mostly
coffee-colored, oiled bodies lying in the white-white sand, palm trees
gently swaying and rustling in the balmy breezes off Gunabara Bay, eternal
blue skies, the great blue-green Atlantic making music with the shore shore
and stretching into the sky forever, the sensual syncopated rhythms of
Portugese all around like the ocean and the trees, samba, bossa nova, and
sweet, wild, passionate love.  I didn't know the Appalachian Trail existed.
It didn't matter.
