|
I've spotted several 'bent Brasilieros during the month and
something that we've been here. Yesterday this gent passed me
while I was waiting at a light. We passed him a few moments
later and managed to catch this shot as he glided along the
beachfront road.
The "thumbs up" is the Brazilian version of our "OK" sign which
has an altogether different meaning when used here. :^)
http://photos.bassburglaralarms.com/Salvador_2/DSC_7005_Recumbent.jpg
A couple of weeks ago I returned to the renowned Igregia do Sao
Francisco, the finest example of baroque architecture in South
America if not the world. I brought my camera, prepared to spend
a few minutes recording the splendor of the church for the
benefit of friends and family back home.
Sadly, due to the frequent abuse of flash by tourists, the church
instituted a rule prohibiting all photography. No amount of
persuasion would get them to budge. (sniff)
Undaunted (or at least only somewhat so) I went outside and spoke
with the Policia Militar who was guarding the entrance to the
church. The PM was friendly and understood our predicament. I
took his photo and we chatted a while about tourists, Pelourinho,
police work, etc.
The next morning we returned before the church would open for
tourists and the faithful. The policeman unlocked the door, got
the caretaker to turn on the lights and we got to spend an hour
and a half in the sanctuary with no one to bother us.
A few of my photos of this exceptionally beautiful church are in
my archive at http://photos.bassburglaralarms.com/Salvador. Hope
some enjoy them as much as we enjoyed taking them.
Tchau,

I was limiting the list of names to alt.security.alarms regulars who
have posted in alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent. Has Mr. Fowler ever posted
to this Usenet Newsgroup?

Jacob hasn't been seen in at least a year now so my guess is he's in a
drunken stupor under a bridge somewhere in Alabama, "Group Moderator" hasn't
been seen in months so my guess is he's having his meds refilled. Frank
seems in an endless loop between loving and hating RLB. You forgot to
mention Tom Fowler who seems to be making a comeback although its much
diminished since his glory days...I just got back from BROL 2005 so I'm
catching up on everything
And Bass is still doing his usual flame-bating

Actually, I was discussing recumbent cyclists in Brazil. How was
the BROL trip?

Johnny ReBike sez, looks like a cross between a Lightnin' P-38 and a Rans
V-rex. Should be much faster than a ReBike [Slowest Bike in the Known
Universe].

I don't know how fast it is. Both local riders I've spoken to
weren't going fast. I have a RANS Vivo and it's fast enough for
me. The best I've done so far was 36 mph for a short distance.
Most of the time my riding is less than half that speed. :^)

I don't have a lot of Brazilian recumbent photos but here's one I
took today. This fellow happened along just as we were about to
entering the parking lot for a family get together at a local
restaurant.
I asked if we could take his picture and he obliged. He also
explained that there's a local shop that builds recumbents right
here in Salvador. Will wonders never cease? Since today is
Sunday (or at least it still was when I took the picture) we
didn't visit the shop yet. Hopefully I'll have time to go there
this week.
Anyway, here's the URL:

A couple of hours later my wife and I watched the sunset over the
Bahia de Todos os Santos (Bay of All Saints). Here's a picture I
snapped:
