20 years ago, on my first trip to Brasil for Carnaval, I met Americans on the back of the plane, getting stoked and drunk for the impending party. I'll never forget folks telling me how special and magical the party was, they were right. My wife wife hadn't been home in 17 years, back to her home town to see family she hadn't seen in way too long. I did the annual trip in February to Brasil to stay for 3-4 weeks and travel and shop for a condo, and it was my second home.

Things have changed so much. The economy and politics, my marriage. I still love Brasil, for better or worse. same with the ex wife.
