I'd rather be playing with Elephants

How Many Reais?

Week One -- Under Budget!

The Tally is in... I've spent approximately $600 dollars (Or about 1,550 Reais). Also interesting to note, not one credit card charge -- I'll bet AmEx and Mastercard are sending out a search party.

This includes:
Several tours
Live entertainment
An excursion on bus and ferry to an island
The required purchases of beachwear and Havaianas (Brazilian must-have sandals)
Taxis around Rio
Internet use
Rooms shared with others
All the food and drink I could try...

Thank Heaven that lying on the beach, people watching, and making new friends are free!
