Chasing/hunting propane gas. That is our monthly task. Infuriating, frustrating, disheartening. How on earth can we achieve global peace if every single country has its own type of gas bottle valve connector!

On a Saturday morning, driving and looking... in the middle of a suburb only 30 km of Rio, madness, small streets, plenty of people and cars... chaos. He appeared as an angel! A quick chat, asking for directions. It finished with him driving around in his van, looking and asking for 1 hour, asking 10 different shops. He was so committed to help! At one point, I stopped and he took Hecti in his car to continue driving as SalSolcito was having difficulties fitting on some narrow places. At the end, he had no choice by letting us go, but not before driving another 15 km in his car in front of us to take us to the highway and pointed us to the right direction to the gas plant. We are getting so impressed by Brazilians!!!!
