João Pessoa, Paraíba
The Brasilian money is the Real, singular, and Reales. (pron. Reai and Reaies).
I am visiting the North East of Brasil at present.
Correction: I meant to say call her Senora X to protect the identity of the guilty, but said to protect the identity of the innocent.
In Recife my hotel room was 204.
In Olinda the house number was 24
In João Pessoa yesterday my room number was 204.
Get to work, you numerologists!
This morning, on the beach, it is 13. A good price but no windows. Already about to say bye to go look for a better place for tomorrow -- or even later. What the hell. I just paid ONLY R$35, so I can afford to turn my back on it.
Changes hotels and will talk about that another time.
Até logo.
