Watching this afternoon's inline skating...I am in love with this venue I think, it looks drop dead gorgeous right by the sea :wub:


Buenos Aires is probably the best South American city I've visited. I was told to be careful because the city could be dangerous, but it was safe and relaxing all the way.

Then I took a ferry ride to Uruguay so I could take my plane back to Brazil, and when I got to Montevideo, the taxi driver left me at the airport and then stole all my luggage. :facepalm:

I would say Brasilia is the best South American city I've visited. It helps that it's also the only one (unless you count Recanto das Emas and Taguatinga as separate cities, but even if you do Brasilia stays on top compared to especially the first :p). Next year São Carlos and/or Caraguatatuba are probably added to the list, so let's see :p

Great city with great people. Just take care with the taxi drivers.

I'm amazed at how well you can spell Caraguatatuba and Taguatinga.

:d 

 

I've also got Jacupiranga firmly stuck in my head even though I haven't typed that until now for 4 years or something (which is when the girl who lived there and I was in contact with disappeared from internet). Actually it's all thanks to girls, my ex spent half her life in Taguatinga and so I spent most of my month in Brazil there, whereas my current (and definitely last :cool::wub:) girlfriend lives in Caraguatatuba....so you've kinda got no choice to learn those names :lol:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
