Woke up at 7:00 am, Scott E. has a doctor’s appointment as he can’t seem to shake this cold/flu thing that he brought with him. Man I feel for the guy but he’s still slugging it out like a real trooper! After a quick breakfast we were off to the Encana visit in beautiful Barra, a suburb of Rio where all of the soccer stars live. The beach was absolutely gorgeous, an un-crowded 18km of paradise and a great looking place for a family vacation.
The Encana presentation was very interesting, a Canadian guy was the speaker and they kindly took us out for Churrascaria at Barra Bistra,…man it was a real carnivore hoedown!
That afternoon was our visit to Petrobras Transperto (the pipeline arm of Petrobras). We were able to visit a training control room and then got to see the real thing at the flick of a switch. The other great thing about the visit was that we were really in the business centre of Rio, and man it was active!
We had a second Churrascaria of the day for dinner , whew, along with many Caipiriha’s. We were then off to "Platforma 1" which was a mixture of Canivale and Las Vegas. It wasn’t bad, a little on the cheesy side but there was a great Capoeira demonstration and many tall Brazilian women to oogle, I have never seen Yonglie more excited. We were then back on the bus and returned to the hotel for a few beers before hitting the hay.
