RE: Another robbery & the city where people go jogging naked... Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Wowza... where do I begin? First, you are an amazing writer and storyteller. I was totally captivated and kinda sad when I reached the end. Second, DAMN WOMAN. What an adventure you have. The word "brave" hardly does you justice. Glad you made it through this experience, though, this place sounds just as scary/risky as I might have imagined.

Haha you thought about Porto Alegre before? I never heard about it before actually visiting, but I nevertheless had a good experience. You can find fun everywhere if you look for it ;) Thanks for all your nice words!!

Is it much safer than the places you explored in this post? Not only am I a weenie when it comes to dangerous situations, I also tend to have pretty bad luck! Bad combo lol. That said, there are plenty of places out there that people have preconceived notions about being "too risky" or "too crime-ridden" or too whatever...it's not always the case as I'm sure you've come to find out.

No, Porto Alegre is dangerous, period. It's just up to the person if they care or not ;) I'm now about to head to a political uprise in Rio haha, keeping stuff interesting.
