Today we woke up to go down town for some lunch! We went to the same place that I have blogged about before, it is a buffet styled restaurant and you just put on your plate what you would like to eat and you pay by the weight of the food. It was very good and well worth the wait! We were there earlier than Mae (mom) and tia (aunt), so we had to wait a little while for them to get there to start eating. After lunch we did some shopping and I saw some shoes in the window that I would like to check out, luckily they had my size. Big feet are not common here in Brasil :P. We went back to the parking garage where we left our car and then dropped tia off at her house and headed back home. It was time to relax for a little while, make some phone calls, and paint my finger nails. Soon to find out, we're going to a church party! They have a traditional "ho-down" kind of party every June it's called Festa Junina. You dress up as cowgirls and cowboys and wear straw hats and cowboy boots. There was a lot of food, dancing, ball pit, trampoline, fishing game and good fun! I learned a dance called the Forró (a famous Brazilian dance). I have pictures and video from tonight and I will blog the photos soon! We left that party to go to tia's house because it was her birthday! We had pizza and cake, it was Pai, Mae, Dani, Li, Tiago, Gabi, Carol, Tia and their Primo (cousin) Tiago. We spent the remainder of our evening their and came home around 10:30pm. It was another fun filled day! I love it here in Brasil and I love experiencing all of the new things! More to blog about soon!
Beijos
Tchau

Hey Rach, G-Mud and I are looking at your pictures, and I read her all the blogs to catch her up on your adventures. We ate Dad's delicious dinner and tried BEETS for the 1st time! (I didn't think there was anything she hadn't tried in 81 years!) We are going shopping too before we have G-Mud's hair DID. haha...We want you to teach us the dance you learned, (and the song), when you come home. Is it like line dancing? OR, like Folk/Square dancing? We will be talking soon FaceTime! We LOVE YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness gracious mom..you and "cool slang" smh (shaking my head)…:P and I will teach you the dance, it's super easy. But the music is questionable!! Haha :) And no, it's not really line dancing its more of stepping to the music and moving your hips haha..difficult to explain, I will just have to show you some brazilian music when I come home! I love y'all too, I am glad that I was able to FaceTime y'all today! And it was good to see Grandmudder and Will too. Talk to you soon! Xoxo
