The End

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments over the last 4 months through this neat-0 medium called blog. It´s been a fun ride.

So today is the final day of the Guevara tour and it´s time to say farewell. Yesterday, by fluke I suppose I got some photos from the girls at the Hostal in Argentina,...they were playful indeed,...warming up with smiles,...all the way to a little tease kiss,...quite funny. And some other shots,...yeah.

The last week has been spent in Panama city. This place is kinda like miami sans miami girls. There were a couple,...stretching a 7 on a 10 scale. Colombia, Brazil and Argentina is the place for interested people. Speaking of Colombia,...wow! When leaving this wonderful country,...be sure to be a good little boy,...because customs there is over the top!!! German sheppard dog,...military dudes everywhere,...and they go thrrrrrrough everything!! I was totally innocent,...of course,...but even still I was nervous as the guy went through all my vitamins and such,...of which,...of course,...just had to be filled with powders that were guuuessssss what color?? He sniffed and stared and asked questions,...and all I did was said,...for the stomach,...and was kinda reassured that some of them said dr. john matsen on them with a Canadian phone number,...please be at work john!!!! He even cracks vitamin pills open and sniff what was inside. He opened my suntan lotion just to smell. Thought of saying,...Hawaiin Tropics,...good shizzle eh?...naw,... When I was on the plane I was very nervy,...until of course the most amazing thing happened. I looked at my ticket and thought it said seat 18. Back of the bus like a schnook! So there I go,...ahhh near the bathroom,...people near me,...ahhhhh, now what?! Wait! In fact in said 1B. I thought 1B,...what??! Ok,...that´s me style hiphop,...so up I went to front row first class,...blue leather chair and all. Fancy breakfast with a ¨mr. mccleery sir,...would you like orange or apple juice.¨ Sleep in a 7 dollar hostal for 3 of 4 months,...a mud hut in mancora peru,...and you feel like you stole 3rd base when sitting in first. Then finally,...when i realized it was real and legit,...mmmmm.

Saw the Panama canal and wow,...some dudes did some serious serious serious manual labour to make that thing happen. Did they have metrosexuals back then? I was tired just looking at the photos,...and so,...of course I had the girl from the mall,...who has one of those sit-in-chair-leaning forward-with face in folder thing massage chair come to the hotel room and rub back. ´3 massages in total,...lots of room service,...movies, steam bath,....just basically a bit of a random last few days of the Guevara tour.

Who´s that kind soul of a singer who says,...and kinda whines,... Im tired and I wanna go home?? Oh,...Mike Buble or something. Well Im tired now,...and ready for something,...home. We´ll see. As a fellow traveller said to me once,...where´s home?? After awhile the phrase,...wherever u go ,...there u are rings true. What I do know is that I miss the fresh BC air,...the peace of mind knowing I can hide in the trees of Whistler from time to time,...the rivers,...a guy named PENO,...haha

And to top it alllllll off,...I have a job.

So the batcave opens again,...the suit goes on,...and once again its time to ensure the streets of howe and bay are safe for all. So see u at lunch beeeyatches!!

Roughing it in Colombia

What up hiphops?!

After a good sesh in Rio with Watson,...Colombia turned out to be in the cards. I arrived in Bogota and that night went out to a club/restaurant type deal. It was fantastic with an excellent DJ,...very modern,...and ultra hot girls. There was this really nice driver at the hotel that shuttled me around the city for two days showing me this that and the other. On the last day I figured I could use a massage so he took me to this Turkish bath joint. 3 steam rooms with lemon grass and orange and pineapples over the vents to make everything smell tickety-pooh. Then came the massage. Imagine walking into the therapy room and the girl saying ok take everything off,...well they do this in Vancouver,...but leave the room for a couple minutes. My girl just stood there. Immediately i thought that this was an unsound business and i was shaking for my life :) but after i lay there for a few minutes she THEN decided to cover me in a towel. How wierd. And that was that. All my hopes disappeared like the pineapple steam into the Bogota sunrise (ahhhh a little sharon jansen somalia love poem)

ok,...then onto medellin colombia. oh yeah i suppose i should explain the roughing it in colombia. Basically ive been rocking the sheraton hotel in each city. Hostels can become tiresome with the morning rush consisting of stinky men and a panicked group of women all rushing the bathroom like natron means at superbowl. Furthermore, everyone has a story,...like im so and so from england,...and thus far ive been to guatemala then a busride to timbuktu.....and ryan,...where have u been. With a grain of salt, please...

So,...check this,...in medellin i check in and the guy is like we´ve put you in a suite. 2 bathrooms,...one with a big round jacuzzi,...a living room,...two tvs,...and a minibar that just begged for a good ol fashioned thrashing....which i did happily in my first few minutes.

Sorry, blah blah blah....great ladies here,...and so friendly. ytd the manager at benetton set me up with some lady friends of hers because she felt sad that i was travelling alone. And,...a saleslady at the Boss store is fantastic and today i´ll be back to ask her out...Wow,...i´ve drawn the line in public,...so yes i will inform all of success or a colombian boot to the chops.

Spa time today among checking stocks and random walk abouts on the streets of medellin.

cheerio,
ryan

round one pics





round 2 pics



tigers

You know in Scarface how Tony Montana refers to his girl as a Tiger,...I now officially know why,... Watson and I just rocked Rio in the Ipanema district. This area is kinda upscale and trendy and we knew we hit the super fancy hotel judging by the modern white decorations and the large amount of boys that travelled together in twos. Ok,...so heres the deal,...Rio at this one bar has the most amazing girls on the planet. I should copy paste that about 9 times so that it really hammers home, but that would cause mouse arthritis in hands. The hottest,...and in volume,...and they have this most amazing look,...kinda liiiiiike, tigers. There´s a wild thing about them,...and they were in numbers,...in packs. Boys,...these are ladies that you´d marry like that night. No questions on Home Shopping Network habits,...or whether she files her nails in bed...or anything...these are sight unseen deals that are signable instantly,...actually who needs a pen eh?

While waiting in line,...Watty made it aparent that he doesnt really do lines by showing the 8 foot 2 hiphop door gangster some Ash-k. The response was a hot little dame to stand with us to smooth out the next door monkey that basically allows in hot chicks only,...or a couple sauce,...with a hot tiger on arm. So in we went. On dance floor, Watty and I basically just stood there amazed for several minutes,...and i believe the look we had was kindof like Rainman staring at the toothpicks on the floor. We didnt bother counting how many girls were on the floor,...we just stood there. Slowly I managed to muster some guts to dance. It did take some courage because I was drinking water that night. Prior to that night,...at the exact same club, ...I managed to turn into Squirl McCleery which had me drink way way too much. Too much talent at one time,...blew my mind to pounding vodka,...and then i basically just died. Watson escorted me back to our fancy hotel and i spent the night in a delux suite,...not on the most insane bed known to man,...but on the tile,...right tight and close to the toilet. Ahhhhh, the cool tile on face.

So basically from Florionopolis,...went to Rio,...had my heart broken a million times,...and now im in Colombia. Bogota as of last night,...and thus far,...the place is amazing. Infrastructure in tact,...flowered boulevards,...great restaurants,...today i will go explore more and see what else is up.

Some pics to follow in just a sec,...from morro de sao pollo,...(two weeks back,...went to island 2 hours off coast of brazil)

Take care

Watson!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah,...thats right,...in about 48 hours,...Mr. Las Vegas himself will be dropping in the Rmac Guevara tour in Rio, Brazil. Hoo rah! This evening,...catching a plane from Florionopolis to Rio and arriving at 330am. Just dandy. Then a 2 day stall until Craigr meets me at the Meridian Hotel. Looking fwd to it,...and shall post photos,...well some anyhow of our adventures.

So congrats to Mr. Berger and Kim who just brought a little stud named Noah Christopher Berger into the world. Boots Jr. is in the house!

So been chillin down southern Brazil for one week now, and liking it quite a bit. In the old fishing village,...more like a surf town that resembles the student area of Santa Barbara California. Super chill with many cool little restaurants,...all kinds of dudes with bleached out hair and Volcom Stone tshirts (rock on) and yes,.....unnnnh huh....hot chicas. Same as any city,...a few girls here and there, BUT when the Donald Trump talent rolls onto the beach you can hear the heart murmers from all the men as they cant tell if they should just cromagnen styles run at these women,...or just play it cool,...or or or....by the time all those thoughts enter brain,...digest,...its just pain. Ahhhh, but the pleasure of seeing the Reef ads from Surfer mag in real life.

Chill beach styles with green water, white sand,...and the coolest terrain up on the hills,...big round boulder type rocks,...with grass and little bushes all around,...quite spectacular. The other day,...a south african guy, italian guy, and a portugese guy,....and I (wow grammar) took a boat to an island. I swear it unfolded like a moment from the movie Beach. As we approached the most crystal blue water and brilliant white sand,...the song Feel the love Generation came on,...the anchor chatch threw overboard with a cool splash,...and then a couple chicks were waving from the sand. A few shivers went up spine and i thought wow,...this is life,...and quite frankly just what i need, YO!!!

So last night, met this honey,...well actually during the day at the hostal.,,, brazilian girl,...and it was on. However, Im pretty sure my super laid back Rmac styles of just chilled out kissing session made her just laugh at me,...I think they are used to guys grabbing them and going full speed ahead right away. So much for Mars and Venus and being a gentlemen,...I suppose being a wuss down here,...haha. Watch out Rio,...Rmac attack is coming with a big Ali-G booyah.

Will send some fotes when disposable cams done in rio. Take care all and laters,...And Craig,...see u soon hiphop,...gonna giver shiznizzle. Translation,...actually jack all,...gonna hit nice sushi restaurant,...order room service,...go to spa,...take taxi rides with locked doors,...and wear Top Gun aviator shades down at beach to perv hard.
