Holiday

Yesterday was Brazilian Independence day and the third time I have celebrated this holiday in Brazil. I admit that the holiday does not live up to the USA counterpart. I also have to admit that I don't know what goes on inside family homes or travel wise. The state of Rio doesn't do very much so that's where my basis comes from.

I did hear a few fireworks in the middle of the night, that scared the crap out me, and our neighbors stayed up all night drinking (I know not because I heard them but because they were still drinking on the balcony at 730 am when I was up with Belle) so maybe this is how they celebrate?

Either way I miss the Fourth of July :) I miss going to the lake with family or friends, tons of fireworks set off by the city and the crazy pyro in the family, way to much food, and tons of laughter.

Cheers to another great start to a great weekend. 

Tchau,

Sara
