Later I met two Paulista’s in Miami. One (“a well know actress” according to her) told me of hiding quietly under a taxicab while the cab driver was murdered in an attempt to kidnap her, then crawling under car after car to escape. The other told me (fairly recently)of all the traffic on the highway from the beach being stopped and everyone robbed at gunpoint and she was like totally non plussed “happens all the time, you just don’t wear jewelry “.. When I told these stories to other Paulista’s in Miami, they said “we fly from building top to building top on helicopters, and never go down to the street level. Ok then. Hard Pass!
