they just tested the water in Rio, Brazil and declared it to be totally unsafe. a lot of people don’t realize that there are many countries where millions of people just poop right in the rivers leading out to the ocean. it happens in most of south america, central america, south east asia, india, and many more countries. i’ve seen it first hand so i know how dirty it is. and yes, we surf the river mouths like fools. so am i surprised about brazil? nope.

and now that the Zika virus has been found in 14 people bit by mosquitos in florida, it’s time for america to start worrying as a travel warning just went up. so yes, worry america! as for me, most of my traveling destinations have all been declared danger zones. bummer.
