Rusty loves Brasilia but he’s easy to please.
He loves the temperature here, as do I, and it’s given him energy. 
Rain is forecast every day and when it rains it does cool off but the amount of water falling out of the sky is impressive, as heavy as exceptional rainfall in the Keys.
Our Uber ride ($10) from the RV workshop would have worked had we been riding a center console.
Consequently Rusty has the energy of a dog two thirds his age. From barely going outdoors in the over heated Guyanas he is taking actual walks which we are both enjoying. 
We aren’t planning to see GANNET2 again till Tuesday when some of the parts should have arrived. This is Brazil so that sort of speed needs to be proven before I’ll believe it.
So for now we have time off. Proper retirement. 
I saw a man in his forties standing at the curb ready to be picked up for work. An opportunity to express some Portuguese. “Aposentado” I said with a thumbs up. He gave me a wry grin and a thumb back. Retirement is good in any language.
Layne is enjoying hanging out with her buddy from
Key West, a bonus after so many months off the beaten overlander track in Peru.
I’m curious about Brasilia a city not generally considered a tourist destination but what I’ve seen of the architecture it deserves a look.
I’ll pretend I’m in key west and walk around taking random shots. And take measures to avoid the rain I expect.
This is a capital city so in our pursuit of bank transfers we saw some of the middle class life here, huge malls, pedestrian crowds and in person shopping. 
And Christmas is in evidence as you would expect.
Nature’s decorations include some festive red dates:
