Resting at a bus stop along the way

Today's bus has been in the day which is completely different. Interestingly enough we have been passing through some great landscapes full of even more trees than the Amazon jungle! These types of trees are completely different and do pale in comparison to the size and shapes we saw back on the river the last couple weeks.
So, what can you do on the bus in daytime besides stare out the window??? We've been catching up on some overdue reading, listening to the same 45 songs on my mp3 (forgot to load it up before leaving USA- what a jackass I am!), playing word games, eating, hmmm that's about it. Bummer is that along the whole coast of Brazil and Argentina and Chile there are about another 200 + hours of bus trips that we'll be taking over the next couple months!!! We seriously need to come up with more word games!! Side note: traveling at night is cool because its possible to get some sleep, but the theft factor is always looming, especially when people get on and off at those late hours....
At about 9 pm tonight we'll be at the town that we have to sleep in before taking a 4x4 for 2 hours along the sand dunes of the beach to get to this treasure of a place called Jericoacoara. Can't wait to get there- by Tuesday late morning.
Mauricio, we hope you feel better dude!
