Another option for a Sunday night
[QUOTE=Dellorto;1597180]Termas seem to be closed today, so is Eden Spa. We will be checking out the Balcony area later tonight, anyone going?[/QUOTE]I haven't used this option in a couple of years, but when I did, they were not bad. I know the agency is located in Copa. Being that the Cup just ended, they might actually have someone who speaks English.

[QUOTE=Dellorto;1597485]Thanks. Balcony was quiet yesterday so I went back to the hotel and contacted a girl I met last week at Balcony, named Gabriela (picture attached). Unfortunately she was at home and it seems home is not in Copacabana. Today she will start working at 14:00, would be nice if I could meet with her before I leave Rio. Event though I met her at Balcony she probably works in a terma or spa in the Copa area. Still don't know where. Meanwhile I got a message this morning from one of the girls from Eden Spa asking if I want to go jogging with her after work. She finishes at 22:00 and wants to go for a run along Copa Cabana Boulevard at 23:00. I'm not sure what to think of this. Can anyone advice on this? Good idea or bad idea?[/QUOTE]First, thanks for your detailed report on Eden Spa.
Second, you may want to purchase a membership so members can PM you. Out of respect for your contribution, I will answer your question here.
The invitation you received could be very innocent and genuine but be careful. At 11:00 there will be fewer people out and she could be setting you up. Girls who work at established businesses generally are on the level but you never know. I met a girl at Help one time and we hit it off. She wanted to go in a certain taxi in front of Help but I said no we would flag down one from the street (always a good idea). We are about 2 miles out when the taxi she suggested pulls along side us and forces us off the road. Turns out the driver was her boyfriend and his intent had been to rob me. He wanted her to go with him and she told him no. She spent that night with me and several other nights so everything worked out fine.
If you go with this girl, be aware of your surroundings and make sure you have a way to contact your friends or ask them to check in with you. Let us know how it turns out.
