Thanks for sharing this story. I love this place and this traveling mood. It's just sad you got such a bad experience with the police. I've already been once in Brazil and I know what you mean when you say that the police doesn't do its duty properly. I am planning my trip around the world, six months in South of America and six months in Asia, and I decided to join Steemit because I could find interesting blogs to follow and discover new sights to visit. In my blog, I will talk about travels, art and social innovation. In case you are interested in these topics, check my profile
