The RBF Girls from Ipanema

Time for only a quick post about the adventure in Brazil. The conference I am speaking at had a soiree last night with some interesting Brazilian dishes and beer. These wonderful ladies are the conference assistants assigned to helpless foreigners like me. They help us negotiate the language, explain the food, and generally try to keep us out of trouble.


Brahma is one of the local beers, a pilsner that is ok.

Gotta go. I give a talk in a bit and need to settle my nerves.
More later.

Matt,
Looks interesting....You could break the ice when opening your speech, by recounting a few comical moments involving the Chief. Such as Safety Ed's steamed mussels incident. They might look at you kinda funny, but you'd get a chuckle out of them...at least a polite chuckle....Anyway, just drink heavily prior to doing your speech, you'll be fine and no worse orator wise than our Prez.
Its gonna get cold here this weekend, enjoy the warmth!
