Quick Carnaval News!

As I sit here at Starbucks in Rio. Yes, that's right friends. Starbucks. Waiting patiently to sip away my java chip frap, I wanted to take a quick moment to let you know how AMAZING our time has been here. There will definitely be more detailed posts later but while I've got a moment wanted to share just a few bites for your reading pleasure. So far on my wonderfully amesome (lame adjective but so appropriate here) Carnaval week I have:

• Dressed like a fruit vendor on a subway,
• Got hit on while dressed like a fruit vendor on the subway,
• Danced my heart out at the Sambadromo with Imperano Serrano,
• Got horrible blisters (yes, there's always something with me) from dancing my heart out,
• Made friends with some of the other dancers in our wing,
• Eaten/ing lots of deliciously wonderful food (goat cheese with walnuts, thai basil chicken, cinnamon and clove ice cream)
• Been gaining a nice tan after months of pale gringa-ness,
• Taken naps everyday,
• Spent 4 wonderful days hanging out with my great friend,
• Seen less than 10 clouds total in the skies since arriving on Saturday and
• Slept in till 9 am each day.

And the best part is that it's only Tuesday. Sigh. More soon. Wish you were here.
