Dear gentle readers,
The faux carioca had such grand plans to be your correspondent from Brazil. Over the next two weeks she was going to report dutifully on food, people, and practices. Alas, the system is down. The computer in her host mother's apartment protested said mother's recent departure for a two month stay in France. Things went awry less than a week into the faux carioca's unlimited access to 21st century technology. The CPU now squeaks mournfully when it is turned on and the screen remains black.
So it goes.
The faux carioca must regretfully put Waxing Brazilian on hiatus. While the she shudders at the thought of maintaining a blog on a regular basis, she is disappointed to end this one so abruptly and unexpectedly. Your trusty correspondent will do her best to file last reports when she has returned to the US. Oh sure, she could write now and again from Rio but the truth is she is tightening her belt to make the budget last and Internet cafes are cheap though not free.
Speaking of returning to the US, does anyone know someone interested in breakfasting or brunching with the faux carioca on Wednesday July 16 in Houston? She will be arriving in Houston at 5:20 a.m. with a connecting flight to Indianapolis scheduled for 4:15 p.m. That's a long ass time to spend reading magazines and drinking cocktails in an over air-conditioned stinkhole. Charming as the Houston airport might be, the faux carioca would love a respite after an overnight flight from Rio. Please advise via e-mail on people to call and places to visit!
Beijos.

Sorry that we won't be seeing any more regular updates, and also that I don't think I know anyone in Houston (or traveling through) these days. I hope the next few weeks are good, and that you remain untouched by the crimes that have plagued your fellows.
Much love,
Anna
