I write so much for each journal entry, that I skipped what happened on the 2nd of August, so I have to go back and write a bit about it - a year and half later...this will be mostly pictures with some commentary.
This was the day that we tried the Brazilian national dish, while listening to live samba music. And I swear the whole meal was a few hours long, because why not? Plus, feijoada takes a very long time to cook.
We started our excursions with our feijoada feast:

 |
| Natalia and me.... |
 |
| My dad, aka Natalia's "American" dad and Natalia |
 |
| The star of the feast, the feijoad - a black bean stew with spices and all sorts of meat |
Since the feast was so long, the rest of the day we laid pretty low. In the late afternoon/early evening, Natalia's mom wanted to run out to the market to get some food supplies for us. My mom and I asked if we could go as well, to experience a market in Brazil, and to see what kinds of foods were all available.

| Lots of fruits were available |
 |
| Making some purchases of sweets |
 |
| Eating the goods we just purchased, with a bowl of pão de queijo in the foreground (loved those! Little balls of manioc root dough and cheese) |
After our light dinner, we went out dancing, because BRAZIL!
Natalia killed it on the floor with her dance instructor.
