Grandma motorcycle ride
Now I know where I got my adventurous spirit from!
Last Sunday after lunch I jokingly asked my grandmother if she wanted me to take her home on my motorcycle.
She simply asked if I had an extra helmet and put it on!
Mind you, she’s 87 years old!
Here are the pictures:
iAi – the buzz is starting
Sagatiba – my first iPhone App on the App Store
Sagatiba – a Brazilian premium cachaca – a distilled drink from sugar cane – hired me some months ago to do their iPhone application.
It got approved by Apple to be placed on the App Store this weekend – for free.
Check out Sagatiba’s web site.

Also – got a review from a Brazilian blog – iPhone Blog.

Update since arrival in SP
Great to be back home and see all of my family and friends…
Marc and I went to the coast of SP with NO computer and no video camera – a break from the blogging – but not from the bikes.
It rained a lot in Barra do Una (north coast of Sao Paulo state) but then when we went to Rio on the 28th the weather opened up to great sunshine until the 1st of January.
In Rio we had a great group – Stephanie, Jonathan, Dahlia and Glen – along with the “locals” Miguel and Renata who were our guides once in a while.
We had an amazing time in Rio eating at BBLanches almost every meal, going to the beach in Barra and going out at night.
New Year’s Eve in Copacabana – millions of people peacefully and democratically united on the beaches for the 20 minute long uncoordinated fireworks spectacle. Very cool.
Back to SP on the first on the bikes we got one of the heaviest rains we saw in the entire trip down from the US!
And now back to real life!!
Some more pictures from the arrival:

Motorcycle Recepetion invitation

Arrival post updated with video :)

My grandfather went today after a fruitful life of impressive discipline, determination, focus, honesty, and vision.
A leader, a gentle boss, stern but not harsh, quiet but attentive, a traveler and explorer.
He has always been the solid and stable figure of the family.
He went at home this morning.
A simple burial with only the direct family.
Day 80 – Fazenda Mato Dentro to Sao Paulo!!!!
Woke up with Pedro and Armando who had arrived on their bikes from Sao Paulo 🙂
Had some breakfast and went over to Sao Paulo with about 12 motorcycles!!
Very cool and different riding with so many bikes.
Arriving in Sao Paulo was quite emotional… great feeling to have completed the journey!
Arrived at my Dad’s house and there were about 30 people waiting for us with banners, champagne and lots of happiness!
What a reception!! Very very cool.
Stayed there till a lot later and then went to my Mom’s where there were yet more people later on since it was her birthday the next day.
Great to be home!
