Another Year in the Books... and A New Chapter Begins!

 Yep, I am a teen no more. The BIG two zero. When one of our clients found this out he and his wife arranged a party. WOW! I will leave it at that. Our host clearly does NOTHING half way. There must have been fifty couples there. Zahir and his brothers were even impressed.  

 Betey has been on full alert since he arrived with the new pilot. Yup, I got my favorite bodyguard back. Z was in a meeting and his brothers took yours truly to the zoo. For the record "I" knew exactly where I was. My soon to be brother in laws however were "misplaced." 

 Grown men do NOT get lost we get separated from our party. We were on our way to see the monkeys. I was following the signs, they were following what was attached to the skirts. When I could not find them I asked an employee for help in English. (As I have said before this Miami boy speaks very little Spanish, and ZERO Portuguese.He too me to security. I texted Z and told him I was in security waiting for the brothers. They were pissed when they found me. That night it was decided I needed a dedicated minder (AND the brother's temporary numbers in my cell).

 Betey gave me a long list of rules to avoid issues like what happened on our last trip.

 Sorry for the text only post. We are at the Brazil vs Angola match. Typing while trying to look excited is hard. Soccer is not MY sport. Still there is a tremendous excitement here and the Brazilian team is doing great I am told. U.S. team... not so well.
