My aging cognitively diminishing brain forgot to post pictures of a half day in Pampulha exactly a year ago, these shots skirting the plethora of refuse right at the shoreline. [I may also have some photos of INHOTIM lying about]

Welcome, hithereall. I don't want to be complicit in highjacking the OP's thread. You might simply start a new (your own) topic. But you seem to be a slightly lost though adventurous lambikins, newbie I would surmise, so here are a few thoughts: I have chatted with your Rowling protaganist but not gone with him. For a half hour session, his wizardry would likely ordinarily come in at about 100 reais, 150 tops. If this is your only Tues here, I strongly advise you select Clube 117 out of your two options, for the sheer eye-popping volume of trade on display on Tuesdays due to the first half-hour of R40 cabin fee being waived. Hence, its popularity tonight. But if you don't like crowded wall-to-wall stud presence or being waitlisted for a private suite, you can pass and go to Manhattan Rios. Or cab or Über to 117 afterwards. Good luck.

There are two basic shuttle options, but some day to day variation. One operator from the Holiday Inn, another for the central bus terminal. I took a big chance on a Wednesday ... Über to get there, and there was space on Belvitur to get back to BHz, the Holiday Inn Selassi pick-up and drop-off point. See my parentheses in yellow in the relevant photo. I could have ended up stranded. You cannot get an Über once you are at INHOTIM. My driver offered to stick around all day! I sent him off. For your Tues, read the relevant section in the photos. I think the reason Wednesday is similar to weekends is that there are school and/or family discounts on Wed, so the most crowded of weekdays. Or in fact, maybe entrance was free that day. I forget. Enjoy. There is more upscale smorgasbord dining across the first body of water at the entrance, a small simple sandwich place near the entrance, and a hamburger kiosk with seating further in. The hamburger place was where I ended up having lunch, and was very good.

Right, the photo in the article appears to be a 787 Dreamliner. I think the photo below represents what GOL is calling "premium economy" in MAX.

The GOL flights, fortunately, are of not much use to me, so the problem of getting their site to work either thru URL or their app has no impact.

Copa has also begun adding the MAX aircraft to its fleet.

This may be old news to some, and of interest to others ...

Well, your handle is Walker. As in, when a hot guy tongue-bathed his arse all afternoon, he walked away rather than discovering what came next.

I have eaten at all ten or so sit-down dining establishments in central Gloria, district as encircled in yellow. EXCEPT Casa da Suiça in the Swiss Consulate, a restaurant that is now permanently closed. My favourite is Grégora Arte directly across the street from Clube 117. Dined there a few dozen times, never a disappointing meal whether 'fixed price' lunch, a snack, or dinner. I find that the preparation has a little more flair, and the meat is not overly salted. They also stock a large selection of imported European brews. Along with the regular menu card, there is always a fish, beef, chicken, and vegetarian lunch special selection. It is often fully occupied. The streetside patio is nicely shaded and quite comfortable on hot days. It is walkable for me. I think many 117 visitors have bypassed it because they often shoot out of the club like a bat out of hell and want to get to their more conventional tourist districts. Unfortunate, that, if one is hungry and has time prior to the final subway run.

One might be able to negotiate a happy ending with a service like this ...

Mature ... one exception: "mature audiences only", then everyone wants in on it.

HOtel interior reviews ... teehee.

Suggestion for improvement regarding the notice ...

Sounds like a culinary art that you do not gloss over.

The extended analogy of pool poo doesn't work because my example was related to overdoing a method. The only swimmers diving into and up my arse wear a full latex body suit that does not hamper vigourous strokes as they come explosively to the finish line. I need not sit out any laps if I do my gentle prep for sitting on laps. Moderate, judicious use of an enema bulb is analogous to skimming the leaves off a pool. An aggressive fleet enema into colorectal nether reaches is like trying to hose down a manure pile. (Perhaps a better analogy than my initial attempt.) The sigmoid section and further distally within contains fecal matter that supports a healthy internal ecosystem. It is best left there until more waste crowds it out. I think Blindjaw's piece is somewhat cavalier and irresponsible. Pressure-washing down the mucosal lining disrupts the balance and can create problems with internal surface integrity. Cracking and drying, greater STD receptivity, and reducing contraction tone thereby leading to chronic constipation. With enemas like that who needs enemies? I want a healthy and naturally lubricated womb able to push those full-term babies out. But whoever wants repeated abortions, D&C, have at it. Fill and drain those swamp creatures. To each his own gut. Most poo that occasionally spots a condom is closer to the sphincter. And those innards are somewhat corrugated with debris retention folds. More like an inverted pine cone than an inverted acorn, more artichoke than persimmon. Yet nine out of ten non-douched fucked asses see their guests off with minimal hygiene gross-outs. Dicks are not as if they are poking through the straw hole into a full juicebox. If we could just train that part of our chutes closest to the atmosphere to gargle and spit ... OMG.

I would not drain the swimming pool just to get a few leaves out. For bottoming, receptive anal intercourse dick only, I just want to get the worst of residual post-dump crap molecules out of my rectum. Because that requires so little water inserted, it is just as simple to use purified water that I have lightly salinated. I agree water from the aqueduct system in Rio is likely OK for most purposes. Some of Blindjaw's illustrated techniques are something my General Practitioner or Gastroenterologist might recommend very occasionally for serious constipation, impacted bowel, etc. They are both sex-positive practitioners and I use their recommended douche method. As I said, I tend to have runny poo in Brasil even though I add more pure psyllium husk powder to my diet. The douche method I described works for me. I do not use Imodium because I want to evacuate the pathogens that might be causing loose stool.

Yes, please do, in case some here don't quite know where to find theirs.

Douching in general is not good for your insides and should be done sparingly. I strongly advise NOT to use your homemade cold-water bathroom hosepump contraption. You are likely going to overshoot the pressured water up into your sigmoid colon where your pre-BM fecal matter gathers and lives prior to being released into the rectum. That fecal matter can then get diluted and runny and seep past the built-in semi-valve musculature into the rectum, thereby exacerbating your already existing concern of having poo in your rectum. You are likely going to fill the cavity with far greater than the recommended volume of water (100 ml or 1/3 cup) before the water can be expelled back out. That aggressiveness accounts for some folks getting a little obsessive and repeating the insertion over and over until the water comes out of the ass clear. They are reaching too far up the poop chute and dragging down more matter. I also think that those hoses by the toilet is the least treated water and not filtered like some kitchen tap water might be. I believe it's main purpose is household cleaning. Anyway, I purify douche water by boiling and cooling tapwater to lukewarm. Or using warm shower water. Adding about a half teaspoon of salt per cup to relicate normal saline. But I stay where there is a kitchen. Otherwise, would likely use room-temp bottled drinking or distilled water. I myself do use the typical Brazil bathroom hose for very exterior ass cleaning. Over the toilet, or in the shower if it reaches. And then gentle soap and a pitcher of warm shower water for rinsing the anus if the shower nozzle is fixed and not itself on a moveable hose. Or bidet if available. And the douche bulb as you describe, but no more than 2-3 times per week. I tend to get loose stool if not travellers diarrhea in Brazil, so have to calibrate my bottoming accordingly. I take the plastic measuring cup (you can improvise) of lightly salted water into the shower along with the douche kit. I override the refill problem by using a plastic-tip syringe, not a metal needle-tip type, drawing the water from the supply and expelling it into the bulb about 5 times to fill it, then inserting the tip back into the bulb and using a little lube for anal insertion. I try not to repeat the process more than once per cleanse session.

I am delighted that we are finally arriving at some solid generalizations ...

Magnitude greater than 7 can cause some serious damage.

I like spices but I can barely tolerate most of the buffet cooked meats, on a par with Margarita rims.
