I stayed in a private apartment at 222 Barrata Robierto on the 8th floor. I went to the Help discotheque where women were nude or topless.

I caught the clap from a Brazilian women who stayed 10 days with me in my apt protecting me from everyone, showing me the sights, washing my clothes and hers, and then giving me a souvenir in my dick I didn't want.

She took me up to the flavellas to show me where she lived and it was atrocious. Barely running water, all concrete walls with little else, curtains as doors, and dishes piled high and rarely electricity and she lived with three other girls.

I had little bandidos try to steal from me when on the beach at Copacabana and watched them steal from other people. The young boys all trying to shine your shoes and sell you chicklets gum or peanuts for .10

Rio was a shithole then and now it is an even bigger shithole! Olympics and the Olympians are screwed big time!

Did you keep in touch with her? Facebook friends maybe.

Lucky you did not get Aids.
