E para resumir tudo...

"A man needs to TRAVEL. By his own means, not by stories, images, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what he is. To some day plant his own trees and give them some value. To know the cold to enjoy the heat. To feel the distance and lack of shelter to be well under his own ceiling. A man needs to TRAVEL to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be."

One of my Brazilian friends sent this quote to me after reading my blog. He thought I would like it and he was correct. It is translated into English, so it might not be an exact quote, but you get the gist...

Some things I have learned during my weekend adventure-

Blonde hair and a bright yellow cardigan sweater is not the appropriate attire for a Brazilian heavy metal concert.

- Toucans are both beautiful and surprisingly unafraid of humans.

A walk through the rainforest is much more surreal when it is actually raining.

Brazilian pizza buffets are among the best creations I have ever seen. However, what is even better is sweet pizza covered in chocolate.

Seeing a full rainbow is almost as amazing as the guy in the Youtube video makes it out to be.

Scratching a mosquito bite until it bleeds is the best way to eliminate the itchiness. Second to covering it with duct or electrical tape. Unfortunately this also results in scabs that make you look like you have broken out in hives.



When Brazilians are frustrated they always make the same noise, that sounds something like, "Aye yaye" and is typically followed by a deep sigh.

Brazilian women truly do have a voluptuous butt. I have been using the "bumbum" machine at the gym in an attempt to make mine look the same. No results yet.
