Dia catorce- la ultima

Last day! Went to the beach for a bit, checke out at lunch time then killed some time util our shuttle at 6. Stopped to the sugar loaf to meet the Joao from yesterday to get our forgotten bag. Got it. 

Flew home, now in Miami waiting for the next leg back to sfo. Long day in the airport not able to get an earlier flight. 

The Brasilian people are usually late, kiss hello, and good bye, and hug a lot. They drive likes maniacs and over share their feelings. Kind, hospitable, sweet and generous. I really love them! 

Dia trece

Tour of el Cristo, Santa Teresa neighborhood and the Santa Marta favela. Rio has become much more safe then just 6 years ago when it was awarded the Olympics. Since then less drugs, no guns and more police in the favelas. Our guide Luis said Rudy Guliani came to help work on the plan for a safer Rio. Really cool day. One more sleep in Brasil...

Dia doce

Left londrina early, Victor drive us, walked in and was sad to see us go. He's such a good guy. Looking forward to seeing them all again sometime. Arrived in Rio, and got the shuttle, got to hotel and walked a little bit, had a late lunch then a quick nap. Had dessert and walked to the beach, it's so beautiful here, and windy! Going to bed early so we can get up for the all day tour tomorrow. 

Dia once

Last day at Casa Sant'Anna. Had a breakfast if bread and cheese, then chilled out until lunch with Fernando and andrea and victor. Went home for a little bit and rested, then went for pastel and pao de queijo. Omg so much cheese so little time. 

Now we'll have a BBQ. 

Met Fernando's teacher, Mark and became fb freinds with him. Very nice gringo living in Brasil and teaching English as a native speaker, what a cool job! At one point Fernando said to his friend in English, "don't touch my balls!" He meant don't bust my balls. The three Americans laughed really hard. 

In the last few days Fernando has also said

When they start dancing like monkeys, it's time to go.

Do you like my shit? (Shirt) 

I don't mind the shit. (In refernce to dog ownership)

What the fuck is this? Whatthefuckis that? 

He also pointed his middle finger at me.

Fernando is my favorite( they are all my favorite. 

Victor also saw a pic if the Easter duck race and he said are you fishing for chickens? 

Dia deis

Nice breakfast in the Sant'Anna home, paô de queijo, and coffee. Then around 11:30 went with Fernando to rotary meeting. Was very nice and a cool experience. Then with victor went around Londrina and had another snack and ice cream. We're always eating too much, but it's all so good. Then we drive out of town with Andrea, Fernando, victors, to a German brasilian restaurant, but it wS closed! Was pretty funny. Drive into londrina for Italian food, cheesy creamy pasta. So good but I'm kinda feeling like a fat ass. 

Now to bed!
