[Rhodes22-list] Slim in S.A. Bring Pictures

[Steve Alm]

Ed,

I've been taking tons of pix including some great shots of the 
interior--hills, forest, waterfalls, etc.  I'll post them on my Shutterfly 
site when I get back.  The computers, modems, ISP's etc. here are all pretty 
slow if they work at all.  The motto is:  Everything is broken!  I'm lucky 
to be able to e-mail yáll at all.  Man, do I miss my Mac and high speed 
connection!

The really bad news is that here in Recife, they've been having a huge 
infestation of sharks and there have been many attacks and people hurt and 
even killed.  You can only go in the water up to your knees.  This was the 
predicted result of the building of a new port nearby that changed the 
natural flow through the reef ("Recife") and now the sharks have lost their 
habitat and are starving, so they're feeding on tourists!  It has also 
changed the way the current flows along the coast and now the ocean is 
eating up the shore line.  Real estate investors are panicking.  You can't 
f**k with Mother Nature--the ocean will always win.

On the Brazilian flag it reads:  "Order and Progress"  The very two things 
Brazil lacks.  8-)

Love and kisses,

Slim
