Running into Rusty’s friend Daniel (a fellow tourist), he tells us about his near theft experience in the park.
Daniel – ‘ I was walking through the park ( in Central Rio) near the hotel when a man walks up to me with a knife and says ‘Deniro’ (which means money). I just ignored him and kept on walking’
T – ‘ And what happened? Did he come after you?’
Daniel, laughing – ‘Nope’
