Here is Hannah yesterday afternoon displaying the appalling scars wrought by a gang of vicious drug crazed local thugs who attacked her with vines, leaves, grapes and small twirly things as she walked through the seemingly unthreatening seaside town of Saquarema. As a result she can no longer eat chocolate or lumps of fat or pigs or salt or pepper or eggs and will remain scarred for life.
Not content with this appalling behaviour these anti-social maniacs then proceeded to rob her of sixty pounds worth of the local currency (rrraoooollllshhh or something)....pronounced rrraoooollllshhh or something, and then, whilst forcing quantities of water down her, they proceeded to chant what appeared to be voodoo spells over her in the terrifying local dialect. The whole ordeal lasted over 3 1/2 hours during which time she amazed her crazed assailants by never once uttering a murmur of complaint or submission.
Hurrah for Hannah!!
.........as if that wasn't enough, today she was attacked by yet another gang of addled drug maniacs who forced lethal paint onto her finger and toe nails and then attacked them with lumps of metal until they were nearly worn away......and then in similar fashion, the torture over, they robbed her of more of the local currency.....However the worst was yet to come....this bunch of maniacs disguised themselves as friends of hers for the attack......
......as a break from the preceeding horror stories of life in urban Brasil, I hark back to happier days, here with my friend Sonia......
anyway, break over.... back to the present, here I react with fury to the news that Hannah has been attacked and robbed twice in two days....and to add insult to admittedly unusual injury, it was my money that was taken.....though that's obviously a minor concern in this situation.....although it does mean going to the bank again, and it's not like the bus is free....I mean, yes it's cheap but......well you know......
