Sunday Night At TRH

Deborah and I are back at The Rock House, but puppies are still in WV. They'll stay there for a couple of more weeks. I'm off to Galapagos Islands for scuba diving, and to Peru for Machu Pichu (a bunch of old stuff up in the mountains, I think.)

Sunday Morning in Palm Beach

I'm back here now, and Tropical Storm Fay is gone-finally. It looked like a swamp land flying in on the plane!

Now we're getting ready to go to the Sunday Brunch at the Breakers Hotel. That's an event which requires several days of recovery, so I won't post blogs for a while -- I'll be a blob instead!

Wednesday Night at TRH

I'm back at The Rock House, having dodged Tropical Storm Fay. She sure didn't make Palm Beach much of a beach place though. Oh well, I had to be working anyway!

Deborah and I both will head back there on Saturday for a week, me working two days, and golfing the rest. Deborah will spa and sun the whole time!

Monday, Near Tropical Storm Fay

They say the storm will miss us here in Palm Beach, but that doesn't mean its beach weather!

Sunday night at The Breakers

If this is Palm Beach, there must be a hurricane on the way. Yep, sure is!

Friday Afternoon at TRH

Well, I'm home with the Shelties, but Deborah is still in California until Sunday. But, then I'm off to Palm Beach and the Shelties back to WV. Maybe end of next week we'll get the whole gang back at TRH.

Tuesday Afternoon in Sao Paulo Airport

I'm at the airport, headed for TRH tonight. Another night on an airplane - about the sixth this year, I think. At least it saves on hotel room costs!

There was one nice two hour period in Rio Monday, and everyone flocked to the beach. Then, the sun retreated and so did the crowd. I think it's a place better visited in the Summer months here. Rio reminds me of Miami Beach, and South Beach, except more people in Rio speak English, I think....

Maybe tomorrow I'll make it to WV to get the Shelties for a while.

Sunday Night in Rio

Rained all day today, and was cloudy, so it wasnt much of a day to tour or sit on the beach or see the city from Corcovado! So, all those string bikini's I was expecting to see were hidden - best I could do was the pictures here.

The rain did stop long enough to sit at a cafe on the beach and have some lunch. And, everybody was talking about some Girl from Impanea, but I didnt get to meet her even though I was right there.

Friday Night in Sao Paulo

Finished with class now, and off for a tour of Sao Paulo tomorrow. I've really seen nothing here but the path from the hotel to the seminar site, many times. After that I'll head for Rio - the city everyone here in Sao Paulo says I need to go to. Then back to here Monday, for some meetings on Tuesday, then back to The Rock House by Wednesday morning.

Wednesday Evening in Sao Paulo

Well, the rain finally finished, with one big cloud burst yesterday. Now, there's blue sky everywhere. Except for amongst the tall buildings, while traveling to/from the seminar site in a taxi - I spend lots of time doing that, because traffic is terrible here!!!

Two more days of work here, then I'm heading to Rio de Janeiro for the weekend. That sounds like fun doesn't it! Then back here on Monday, visit to Banco Itau on Tuesday, then back to the US late Tuesday night.

Sunday Afternoon in Sao Paulo

This is my first time to Sao Paulo Brazil - it's a big city just like many others in the world!

The airport arrival area was a zoo! Getting bags was easy, since I didn't check anything, but the exit like snaked across the baggage area like switchbacks going up a big mountain! There were many more people waiting to leave than there were waiting on the baggage. I waited about 15 minutes, with no movement, then all the sudden we practically had to run to stay with the line - it was like they starting let people go out without any checking.



Almost took a hour to get thru the airport to a taxi! Now, what I get to see from my hotel room is a white sky, and lots of buildings!
