Random Thoughts

I'm kind of a forgetful person. When it comes to certain things I have a memory like a steel trap. Other things just seem to slip away. I had all kinds of cool things to say on the blog and kept forgetting them so I bought a little notebook and have been keeping notes. Some things didn't really fit in any of my previous posts but I still wanted to write them down. Here they are, in no particular order.

Food

When we order food, especially in Brazil, we usually have no idea what we're getting because we can only understand bits and pieces of the menu. We'll know we're getting beef or chicken but have no idea what it will come with. This keeps things interesting.

Two restaurants we went to in Paraty served the balsamic vinegar in hairspray type bottles. Squirt squirt!

Churches

We kept looking for the churches and couldn't find that many. Then we realized that many were inside office and other average buildings, rather than being free-standing. At one we even saw a rock band playing!

Puntuality

Brazilians were very punctual. We thought they wouldn't be. We were wrong.

Dating

We have seen sooo many young women out on dates with old men. Like much, much older men. What's up with that?

Dogs

There are a lot of stray dogs in Brazil. It made us really sad. When we saw them we would think about Sophie. Speaking of Sophie, we hear she is doing well with Mike. She loves the cold and he has rabbits under his deck that she can chase.
