Alarm clock ringing, desire to stay in bed and VERY big, but then the memory came! It was the day of SNOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
Ahhh, I'd never seen snow, I was too anxious and I still wanted to know if I'd be able to stand up on the board!
I got up quickly, went to shower and get ready, put on jeans, a thin long-sleeved shirt and a jacket on top....
We ran to breakfast, had a bite to eat and tried not to stay too long! It was already 7 o'clock and we were afraid of getting late!
Of course, we didn't hire a company to go with us or packages etc., we really wanted to go on our own hihihiihiiii!
We left the hotel and went straight to the metro! We had to go to the "Escuela Militar" station, it was the closest to Ski Total, the place where we would rent the equipment and take the van to the ski resort!!!
Until then we hadn't entered the subway and we knew we'd have to make transfers and so on, so we looked everything up to make sure we didn't get lost, and everything ended up working out just fine! Their metro is very nice and easy to get around =)
When we changed lines, we saw some people with snowboards, or clothes suitable for ski resorts! We soon approached them to ask for information on how to get to Ski Total and if it was far to jump at Escuela...
We spoke to a Mexican man who was as lost as we were. He said he was there on exchange and hadn't been to this place yet, but that his friend who was taking him knew everything and we just had to go with them.
We chatted for a while and I found it super funny how they're a bit "stupid". He asked me where I was from and when I said Rio de Janeiro, he said he didn't even know it.
I'm scared, how do you not know? BRASILLL, Christ! Copacabana.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh RIO DE JANEIRO, he said the same thing but with a Spanish accent... tsc tsc tsc... and concluded... you have to speak with a Spanish accent, otherwise... I don't understand... Oo.. Ahhhh come on... lie, right?
But that's okay... after laughing a lot internally at the guy's "foolishness"... we arrived at the place!
It was a couple of blocks from the subway! Gigantic anxiety!!!
We entered the ski tourism office, everyone had agreed to rent equipment for Snow!
First we got in a queue to talk about what we wanted and make an estimate, then we paid... then another queue to see the clothes, I got waterproof pants, a jacket, goggles and gloves... from there we went to the place where we saw the boots and finally the boards... that really took a long time! It took a long time! Lots of people renting everything at the same time.
We left there around 10 o'clock in the morning. Then... waiting for the van... my father... what a delay... we took lots of photos while we waited...
The driver told everyone where to sit, and told Gabriel and me to get in front. WAY better, we'd see the whole way from the front seat hihihihi.
Marcondes, with the delay... decided to go out to buy something to eat and drink... so Felipe had to run out after him because we wanted to leave and he wouldn't come back ahuhauahuaha
Ahhh finally... now we're on the road!!! On our way to the ski resort!
We stopped for a while at a gas station to buy something to eat, as everything is very expensive up there... lunchtime was approaching... and there was still a pit stop for the bathroom... and more photos lol... great anxiety!!! Now I could see the mountains with snow and have an idea of what was waiting for us...

Gostei do metrô chileno, parece feito de Lego! Rs E deve ser impossível se perder nas estações, pelo mapa do país, o metrô deve ter uma linha só! hehehe
Pelomenos vi que a mulamba da Star Travel não atrapalhou seu snowboarding, já que ela finalmente não foi citada! hehehe
IPC: quem é “Marcondes”? É como o seu “deu blé”? hehehe
Marcondes é um dos capixabas =)
