My husband and I are learning our way through the world of red wine. We are stuck on the Malbec from Argentina. You might wanna tour some wineries. Evidently Malbec is a grape that grows better there than anywhere else in the world. Oh ya, even the cheap stuff is good! Chile has some great Carmenere too. Sandy in Wisconsin where 45 degrees seems downright balmy! ----- Original Message ----- From: T Kanon To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 11:47 AM Subject: [TMIC] Brazil
Dear TM Family, I left for Brazil on March 24. My family doctor who is an infectous disease specialist suggested that I DO NOT take the shot for yellow fever so I did not!!! BTW, I´m still in Brazil and will be returning on April 5th. I and five friends landed in Rio and from then on referred to ourselves as the girls from Ipanema. I am having the most awesome time. I am challenging myself to do things that I probably would not do if I was able bodied!!! I took a cable car up Sugar Loaf mountain, toured the city which is so beautiful and ate, ate, ate,. I am now in Iguassu Falls. I walked the cat walk to the Argentina side, took the boat ride which literally goes under the falls and today I took a helicopter ride over the falls. I was so scared doing each of these things but what a great feeling afterward. Having wonderful friends who were always there to give me a hand and encourage me made the difference. I used bug spray with DEET which I don´t like but I felt protected. All those who are deciding whether or not to travael.....I say DO IT!!! I ´m not home yet and still can´t believe the experiences I´m having. Am I dreaming?? Stay well everyone, Tobe Foz do Iguaçu Brazil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You rock.
