‘Flying Down To Rio’
(Continued from page 1) nose of the big 707 southward for what turned out to be one of the longest flights we were ever on. After a delicious steak dinner, lights were dimmed, the screen pulled down, and we settled back to see an old movie. Wouldn’t you know it, it was a tired old movie about John Dillinger when he was ravaging small town banks throughout the midwest in the mid-and early 19305. We got the expected amount of panning about Dillinger being a Hoosier native son. It was a fitful night insofar as sleeping was concerned. The 707 was jammed with passengers, nothing like in years past when we were on roomy 747 s and could stretch out across wide seats for a good rest during a night flight. Our flight was a nine-hour flight to Rio, and it was good to see the red rays of the morning sun break through in the eastern sky about five in the morning. We were told to set our watches ahead another hour, so when we arrived at Rio at 8:30 . a.m. Saturday, it was 6:30 'a.m. at home. The trip was long and uneventful, and most everyone disembarked tired, red-eyed and with sore muscles. My ankles were swollen for not having walked during the flight. Rule one: While on long flights, get up and walk a little bit at least once each hour. It was bright when we arrived in Rio — and hot! The winter clothing we were wearing was not in keeping with the 85 degree temperature we found here. After all, south of the Equator it is summer, while it is winter north of the Equator. We were met at the airport in Rio by Jacques Levy, jour guide here, and he took us to the Trocadero Hotel on the Copacabana Beach, famed for its four-miles of white sandy beach and hotels. We are to make the Trocadero our home for our entire stay in Rio. We had Saturday free to do as we chose, a welcome relief from previous trips when our first day abroad was crammed with one or more important meetings. Teeming Copacabana Beach Arch had little difficulty making up his mind what to do once we were in our room and unpacked. The beach of white sand was inviting beyond his ability to resist. From our 12th-floor window, we could see the entire length of the beach across Copacabana Boulevard, since the beach is a large, sweeping curve. The beach, only one of many in and around Rio, is the trademark of this city in the sun. The white sand extends at least 1,000 feet from the water’s edge to the boulevard, and on Saturday afternoon, when all shops are dosed, the entire four miles of beach was crowded with bathers. “Bathers” isn’t to say they were all in the water, either. We found the water cold, and the waves high and threatening. We hadn’t seen such high, imposing waves since we swam at the famed Blow Hole just outside Honolulu several years ago. Once in the water, however, it all proved worthwhile, and we were tossed about freely by the monstrous waves. No kid on the beach had more fun than we did. A modest calculation would be that there were literally tens of thousands of people on the beach on Saturday afternoon. Then, today, Sunday, the beach was fairly empty, and we were at a loss to tell why the difference. Many, many people would walk up to the water’s edge with small, colored plastic buckets, dip them full of the briney sea water and pour it over their heads. When they were thorougly soaked they would go back on the sand and lie down. Don’t ask us why. At any rate, the bathers all had highly tanned bodies. In the first place, Brazil was originally settled by Portugese and they speak Portugese throughout Brazil. This is one reason for their dark skin. Another would be that this country is subEquatorial and has hot weather most of the year around. It should be pointed out, also, that many settlers here came from several different African countries to establish permanent dark-skinned colonies. The dark complexion of the natives in Brazil is one thing of note; another is the eye-catching skimpiness of the bathing apparel worn by those who frequent the beaches here. The late afternoon air became
chilly and most of us beat a hasty retreat for our hotel, and there seemed to be a universal move afoot to arrange plans for a Saturday night on the town in Rio. We turned up for a cocktail party, on the second floor of the Trocaden), sponsored by NNA, and to our surprise we heard the word that we were respon-' sible for the night’s entertainment plans. This was all news to us, since this was our first trip to Rio while others in our widely-experienced party had been here one or more times before. It finally ended up that most of us went their own way. We left the Trocadero with Walt Potter, Eleanor Carlson of Long Beach, Calif., and Peg Hutchinson. Eleanor is out of the news business, but Peg is associate news editor of the Dow Jonesowned Medford (Oregon) MailTribune, and a sharp little cookie at that We were taken to a place whose name we don’t recall, and found it unsuited to our taste. So we walked from there to a dinner dub called the Sambao. The multi-course dinner was all we had expected, and we had finished dining at 11 p.m. The floor show was to begin at 12 midnight. We didn’t choose to wait for it We had made the short walk to the Sambao in a slight rainfall, and when we left it was still raining. We had difficulty getting a cab, and when we did we were told five could not ride in a single cab. We left the other three and latched onto a young male driver for a drug store, and after considerable cajoling talked him into taking us back to the Trocadero. By now it was well past midnight, and we were both tired. We had a big day planned for tomorrow, seeing the city of Rio de Janeiro (the River of January), and our guide Jacque told us to be well rested. We didn’t want to miss a thing, so went right to bed. $550 damage to T auto and property Sgt. Alan Rovenstine investigated an accident Sunday at 2:30 p.m. involving David G. Lawson, 21, r 1 Leesburg. The accident happened on CR 725E near Wicks Landing southwest of North Webster.
