Like and Dislike

My like and dislike for Brazil today.


Dislike

Being kept up all night by crazy soccer fans setting off fireworks for each goal scored and then honking their horns non-stop for an hour after the game. I promise you that every other week there is a new championship game or someone claiming it's the biggest game of the season. To me it just seems like they are handing out consolation trophy's. When you have that many championship games to be won it's like giving credit to all the crappy teams.... I don't believe in that kind of false spirit raising. Your good or your not but find something you are good at or work harder.

This morning, with bags under my eyes, walking to the fruit stand and paying USD $0.60 for four oranges and three bananas. Brazil gets a lot of crap for being expensive but one thing that makes up for it is the low cost of fruits and veggies. With all the exotic fruits available I fear I have become spoiled. Nate's in trouble when we get back to the US and I want fresh papaya's at 4$ a piece of fruit... yep that's the going rate the last time I was in town at my mom's grocery store. At least you can get them in poke town though :)

Tchau,

PS- I miss peanut butter (I am out) and the other day I wanted a little debbie snack cake (anyone of them would do). I guess now the cravings kick in?
