Ann Martin - Rio de Janeiro - 1787

5 th August , 1787


Ello, it's me we arrived at Rio de Janeiro after being in stuffy ship. Captain Arthur Phillip says we should stay here for a month or two .I hope so it feels nice to be out in the fresh air. We'll we only go out for about three or two minuites but it is the most time we go out into the fresh air but when we go out it is boling hot most of the time .While the marrines collect bananas, yams, oranges, limes and guavas storms have hit there are just getting ready for Sunday's trip to Cape Town .Since I left I have made a few frineds like those young ocean pearls but I don't like those boys they try to do bad things to you they even say we are the ones who trick them .This appeny dip is like bucket and pail, gaol. Animals are making it even more worse .When we leave I hope there is not a huge storm .They are making us get all the supplies but we only go out for about five minutes because they don't wanna risk a chance of us esacping or us taking over the ship .Well that is all I am going to  write today but I will see you next nickle and dime !!!!
