Friday, Feb 15 – Day 60
I signed up for two weeks with Evandro’s mother for R$700.00, or about US$400.00. That’s about 1/10th the cost of the Intercontinental Rio, and I think that this is going to be more fun.
The little 2-bedroom house is probably about 900 sf, and except for three concrete walls that make up the kitchen and the tile floor throughout, it is made entirely out of mahogany! Walls, ceiling, roof, windows, doors, trim – everything. No phone, no TV, no internet. No hot water except for the typical heating element right above the shower-head. This will work just fine for me!
Evandro gave me a tour of his shop while he was waiting for a guy named Carlos, who wanted to come by and see a surfboard. The shop is at least twice the size of the house, and Evandro does everything from shaping the blank, painting, and fiberglass work back there. Carlos seems like a pretty cool guy, he’s a graphic designer, and lived in the States for a year. He bought a new 7‘4” board for R$600.00.
