Guests of the Month (March 09)

Margareth Williams and Felipe Barber have won all the other competitors and got the trophy of Guests of the Month of March. They are coming from UK and have traveled a big slice of the world before coming in RIO and at C38.
There are not enough words to describe this great and beautiful couple that spent few weeks in our company. They have experienced deeply all the delights and surprise of C38, from art opening to our simple but tasty lunch, through the fidelity bar and the wi-fi music connection. Thanks so much for all the great time we spent with you guys, and BOA SORTE with everything!

Beyourself Bags

C38 recently had the pleasure to host a photo shooting for the new catalog of BEYOURSELF bags and accessories, its their brand new winter collection which is about to be lauched.

The nice crew, with models, assistants and photograph have spent a whole day shooting everywhere in our premises, in order to catch the essence of Beyourself spirt and the C38 special environment.

Have a look at their webpage, and if you fall in love with one of the bags,you can purchase any of their products online. Our best wishes to our friends and remember: never try to imitate just ...Be yourself!!

Fernandez Family

The Fernandez family left Valencia (Spain) almost 6 months ago and have been traveling and living in Asia (stop in Bali for a few months) and Australia before approaching South America via Chile and Argentina. They have a year off and for they stay in RIO they ve chosen C38.

We have spent a week together and shared pleasant time in playing with Carola(5 years) and Lucia (7 years) and talking with Luis and Marta. After a long time on the road they all felt very much at HOME here with us and have now moved to Bahia in order to rent a house there and spend some time in Itacare, where the girls should be attending school.

From the most classic visit at Sugar Loaf or the Modern Art Museum, what have impressed us all is that all the 4 members of the family have jumped from the hang-gliding ramp with the instructor in their first Fly over Rio de Janeiro.
We wish them a good time in Baiha and looking forward to see them again before they will leave Brazil on their way to the last destination of their big trip: Mexico.

Volvo Ocean Race

The Volvo Ocean Race is on its road to Rio de Janeiro.! Should be approaching port in less than 4 days now the first boats of the flee on its way to the Leg 6. Enjoy the pictures below, more about the race and its arrival in RIo is coming soon...

Red star of Fulda

We are already feeling "saudades" of our dear guest & friend Klaus Stegmueller, with who we had the chance to spend 15 days together.
Klaus has gone back home in Germany after a successful visit to the local institution for the Health Care System, where he introduced them the best thing of the german policies for Health.
Klaus will be remembered for long time for our great chats, sharing a beer or two in our terrace and especially because his music is already playing at C38,as one of our favorite Jazz playlist.
Danke shoen and hopefully see you soon.

Full of Grace

Rafael

Royal Family made its annual official visit at C38 and this time it will be probably the last, as if everything goes well, They will be soon moving to Santa Teresa for good! The biggest surprise this time was their latest son, Rafael who had its first stay at C38 just when he was turning 5 months old.

At the beginning the heat has been too much for this small and fluffy creature coming from the english winter, but soon all the special attentions and cares from all our staff make him feel very comfortable...like a litte prince. Children are always very welcome here, bringing happiness and extra smiles in our life.

Time for planning 2009 for C38 and its next improvements for the new season, probably starting by the Room service and bar menu that soon will be launched (see details in our next posts) with many different brazilian specialities...

Guests of February

Carnival officially finished on wednesday 25th, more than two weeks ago, but as you can see it s hard to not talk about it. So especially for the month of February there are no winners for the guests of the month competition, as all of them have been involved in the streets carnival and disappear for many days....or did not wish to be shown in their carnevalesque disguises.


But if there were an award for the best street "bloco", this would go to CONGOROCOSONGO. The bloco is pretty recent in town and the name is a bit unusual but their music is excellent!! They left Largo do Curvelo (little square in Santa Teresa) around 9am on monday 23rd and by 11 all the streets of Santa Teresa were flooded by happy masquerade people.


If you look carefully the picture above, you can find C38 representative holding a red umbrella on the right end side of the crowd, now to see our guests of the month will be a bit more difficoult, especially because they wanted to maintain their secret identity ..Fernando and Carmen s cat "Pluminha" also disguise herself but during a little snap we caught her with the wings!

Encerramento ArquivoC38-08
