As Palmeiras followed up its 0-1 victory over Grêmio Prudente earlier this week with a 1-3 victory over Flamengo yesterday, the author of this blog was soaking in the waters of Rio Negro – one of the tributaries of the Amazon river – surrounded by fully grown and playful pink freshwater dolphins.
After returning to Brasilia tomorrow, and again having access to a stable internet connection, I’ll feed you with the latest news.
