Can somebody be bored with Rio...

Yes...after two days we noticed that we were so tired and kinda down, even though we had a good apt, a block from Copacabana beach, and were in the city that so many people hear about as incredible. We couldn't figure out why we were so unhappy, and 4 days later as we head out we realize that Rio is just a big city, granted it does have nice landscapes but in the end the pollution, the poverty, the homelessness, the constant rush of cars and people, the buses, taxis that practically run you over or if your lucky honk and curse as you cross the street (I need to work on my portuguese curses cause talking back in English means nothing). Long story short, we do not want to sound spoiled because afterall this is an amazing journey we are on, but we do want to point out that Rio does not have the charm we were hoping for.
Right now we are on a bus heading to Ihla Grande which is about 2 hours south and is a tropical island that will hopefully offer another wonderful escape for us. The greatest thing for me is that we have a new moon so the stars and all the galaxies will be to their fullest extent.
We want to say hi to Natalia and Andres who are still in Buzios today and have been so cool to show us around Buenos Aires when we arrive there. Andres : "the pens are still in the box"
Take care everybody, and please all of you reading this, consider taking some time off work to get down to Brazil, overall it really is a fascinating place!
