My Pest's birthday! I call my younger brother the Pest for obvious reasons. I even wrote a song about him:
"He's a pest who likes to
Irritate my life in every
Way and everything that I do
What am I to do
He's immune to all the
Weapons that I've used against him
No matter what I do or say
He comes back again" etc
I used to write songs. And poetry. It's been a while since I wrote anything creative. I need to be inspired to write. And I haven't been inspired by anything in a long while. Times are bad.
Today I have a full day tour! It was supposed to start at 9.30 am but by the time they picked everyone up we only started at 10.30 am. Apparently Monday is a public holiday here, and due to the long weekend traffic was busier than usual.
First, we went to see the Christ the Redeemer statue! The statue is situated on Corcovado Mountain, in Tijuca National Park. The mountain is 710 meters high. On the way we passed by the Hotel Copacobana Palace, a grand hotel inspired by the luxury hotels on the French Riviera. We also passed by the Botafogo neighbourhood, which has a lovely harbour. This is the only beach in Rio where people don't swim, because the water is polluted due to the many boats in the harbour.
