To the list, Ah, happy days. What Ira did not explain is what he was watching on the beach at Ipanema. My oh my! If you type 'ipanema girl' in to Google images, you will get the idea. The tanga is the local name for the dental floss bikinis and one of the most common tourist injuries in Rio is 'sprained eyebrows'. Perhaps Ira could let me know when he heads down to Brazil again, I would be happy to carry his bags. What a great country. I have no idea what this has to do with Europas, but it does make a happy distraction. It also raises that big issue:- Which is more important, flying or the ladies? I almost forgot, he has the best of both worlds of course. There is a lot of great hang gliding at the south end of the beach. Why not give it a try, Ira? Cheers, John N262WF ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Europa-List: Re: What's going on? From: "rampil" I'm sitting on Ipanema beach in Rio using the public wifi and not flying. Did have a very nice visit to the Aeromot factory in Porto Alegre, though. They make a very nice motorglider called the Ximago.

Gimme a holler if you're in the neighborhood again. My house is about 10 miles at your 3 o'clock from you in that photo, on the west side of the valley. Nice clouds. I bet you did'nt even have to stop and thermal on the Whites.
