""Bump!: South America"



Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo, Rio de Janeiro



Amos Lassen



"Bump!" is back and we are going way south to South America as Charlie David takes on a personal tour of Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro.

Buenos Aires was the home of Evita Peron and is a town of mystery and suave Latin men. The Evita museum is a major stop as is browsing the open air markets. Also we get to learn to tango and visit a men's spa and with good looking Charlie as our guide we can't help but have fun. Buenos Aires is a big city--eleven million people and if we figure out the one in ten rule we see that there is someone for everybody there.

Brazil is out next stop and it is paradise. We all have heard of the beaches there and we do not want to miss a single one and see the beautiful and tanned Brazilians lying out in places like Ipanema, Copa, Copacabana and Leblon. Brazil is one of those places that everyone has on their wish list of places to vacation and "Bump!" makes it possible from our TV screen. The men of Brazil are like the beaches--beautiful and the country is a mix of cultures. Party is the word for gay Brazil and we party both on the beaches and in the clubs. We charter a boat and go island hopping, look at the beautiful architecture and sample "cachaca", a popular Brazilian alcohol. But the highlight of the trip is our visit to Paraty, Brazil, a small gay town that pays no attention to time.

For those of you who have never watched "Bump!" let me remind you it is a wonderful GLBT travel series that takes viewers on personal tours all over the world and includes interviews with locals and is a way to gain an accurate and entertaining look at places all over the world. "Bump!" looks at the social scene in each locale and the historical sites and shopping. It is a series of travelogues with a gay touch.
