Well I reached Brazil and am planning on traveling down the coast for the next three months (through April, 2007). If anyone wants to join me and hang out for awhile, I'd be happy to meet up. Brazil won't be quite the adventure that the Guianas were, but it's one of the hottest cultures to visit, in more ways than one. Rio, Salvador, maybe another visit to Iguazu, beaches, parties, national parks, and a hundred other fun things are possibilities. Email me or leave a comment on this post if you are interested, but let me know sooner rather than later because if you are American, you'll need a passport and a visa to visit Brazil, which I can help you with.
Dan, if I did not have all six weeks of my vac already booked this year, I would seriously consider this. I think you would be great to travel with!
