And if you get lost, natives will drug you then steal your organs, kidneys, liver, etc.
Other than the beer bottles in the pool, turds in the water, gunfights and explosions, it’s just a rich part of this tapestry called the Rio Olympics.

Thanks for the tip. I won’t let my husband snorkel in Panama next time we go there. It has the worst beaches with trash on the shore. Who knows what lurks beneath; probably old hammocks and junk rattan fan palm chairs.

“affirmative action olympics”

Bingo, in a nutshell that is what this one world nonsense is.

They could place pretty girls on beds with wheels and race them around, and just keep with the flow of the furniture Olympics.

It is not the athletic events anymore that they should get awarded for if they win.

They should make the obstacle course that is Rio the real competition.

The losers take back home diseases, emotional trauma and violent injury.

The winners are those that managed to keep all their possessions and their skin intact.

Wow, that is crazy. In a way I’ll bet you were happy to see all that green gunk come out because it meant the doctor had really gotten to the root of the problem.

A couch is not “debris!” A couch is an obstacle.
Floating stools are debris.

I always thought, when I was in Rio, that I was on the edge of disaster. Wild sights on the beach, but don't go in the water.

Even Sao Paulo is risky at night. Rio, day or night, is dangerous.
That “anything goes” attitude is one held by the predators.

You are their prey.

Pray that they leave you alone.

In New Jersey, the jingle for Palisades Park ended with:
“skip the bother, skip the fuss, take a Public Service Bus!”

I will try and find it. We are in Mexico. The dogs got ear infections swimming in Big Chico Creek in Northern CA, but they came out fine swimming in the beaches along Southern Baja California Sur.

Panama, just too much visible debris in the water.

BTW sorry to hear all that you went through. Man, the white spots must have been a bummer.
