I'm also glad to hear the "ruthless commodities trader Mark Yost " has at least one friend. Definitely enjoyed reading your posts. Sounds like the trek of a lifetime. Keep it up man.

As you heard from that Brazilian guy in that Brazilian bar in Somerville, " It's very hard to belief that someone can do such thing", although, you are making it believable. Wow ! I am a lucky man to have met such a BRAVE & COURAGEOUS friend. Vai la meu, chama a mulher para dancar samba. Doug, it is amazing this journey of your.

I can hear you in my head saying-- "131 miles, NBD" :) Keep it up... I think you should try samba though -- you can come back and impress us all with your new moves! Stay well! Very impressive Doug!

Good to see you with the night riding gear and being able to take advantage of the paved surfaces to ride on after sunset. The bike seems to be holding up well, but didn't consider that parts (pedals!)would be wearing out before breaking (panniers), so getting a tune up in civilization looks to have been a timely thing to do. Social contacts still seem to be a mix of the strange and sublime for you in Brazil, so am glad to hear that you are resisting the temptations of TransAmazonia while appreciating the sultry somba social.
