Everyone’s been telling me that I need to get an umbrella. And as I love listening to other people and take their advice… Erhm…since I normally think that I know better than other people, I didn’t think I would need one. Except for the day on my arrival, it hasn’t been raining, so why would I need an umbrella – duh? It’s just this tricky thing that when it’s raining it’s sort of too late to go and get one. Not only did I get soaking wet buying my umbrella, I probably paid three times as much as I would on a sunny day as well.
The rain is not all bad though, it makes wonders for my running. The temperature drops to some 25°C, no crowds, no prams, no Mr & Mrs Lovebird in electric toy sports cars or four-wheel bikes with the whole family (including a couple of dogs) riding along blocking most of the walkways. Not even other people out running or bikes and no need to stop at the water mist machines or to buy something to drink when you think you’re going to faint from sun stroke. In other words, suits me perfect and I knocked my PB off with 9%.

...You'll also need to consider getting a bicycle too... might be very handy with this chaotic traffic jam in Rio, and even worse when the rain falls! Keep up the good posting rate... Like it.
