My third trip to Rio

[Guest juice]

I wish to thank all of the guys who have contributed to this site. Because of you I will be going to Rio for my third time on March 27 for about ten days. I have made several friends there and toured the city museums and cathedrals, gone to Petropolis, bought numerous antique paintings and art, shopped at the antique flea markets, attended local "fotebol" games with a local friend,and dined liked a king. Because of you all I jumped into learning Portugese with books and Pimsleur C.D. course. This visit I hope to go to Igassu Falls, visit the new sauna, and renew my friendships and make a few more. I am staying in a bed and breakfast on Siqueira Campos. If anyone would like to meet for dinner or a trip to one of the markets, let me know. Obrigado, juice

Sorry that this doesn't fit here. I just got this email tonight about what may be good news for travelers to Brazil and thought I would pass it on but have not figures out how to start a thread. If someone can figure out how to make this a thread, be my guest.
