First day was pretty busy. We go to breakfast every Saturday at this bakery/store/restaurant. Very delicious chocolate crossants. How do you spell that anyway? Don't know so I am going to leave it. Anyway, we found out they sell deli meats as well and got some great German ham. Very yummy! At the checkout we were making fun of Ricardo saying he was expensive because the bill was high. Well in Portuguese it is "Ele esta muito caro." Well, instead I said "Ele esta muito carro." First sentence caro the r is pronounced as an r. Second sentence the rr is pronounced as an h. So instead of saying he was expensive, I said he was a car. Then I said I was cheap. Well I didn't. That would have been "Eu estou barata." I said I am drunk "eu estou borracha."
The boys went to play at a friends house. They all go to school with each other. It felt and looked like a very nice summer day in MN. Ian got a home run in backyard baseball. The link is above.
While the boys played Ricardo and I went to Ibirapuera Park for a while. It is like a mini central park. We were walking around working off the chocolate crossant and really enjoying ourselves. With the day and the lakes in the middle you could almost think we were around Lake Harriet or another.
Until you looked and saw the really green water and palm trees.
Yes the water is that green!
Last night we went to a very delicious pizza restaurant. We got there at 7:10 and it was empty. Dinner usually doesn't start until 7:30 - 8:00 pm. And yes there are children at those dinners! We have to get used to the dinner thing for this culture. My boys are going to have to learn to stay up later. Don't know how well that will go. But I digress. The pizza restaurant was really cool; the architecture amazing. There was a candle stand that we had to take a picture of. The wax looks like wool! Check it out...
Today, we are thinking of going to see Cats, the musical, in Portuguese. Definitely an experience.
