We had a really fun week! Earlier in the week Evie and Rosie went to their second party (birthday party!) here in Rio, for their friend Ellie, Becki's mom. Ellie is such a sweetheart and Evie had a blast. I missed how U.S. cakes taste, yum. And Becki was so kind and took a few pictures of the girls, I'm attaching them here. On Friday we walked (*walked*) to Sugarloaf, it wasn't too bad just 35 minutes away. We had lunch at the a kilo place on the beach (Grandma, you wouldn't have liked it--it was the same food as the a kilo restaurant behind the Copacabana Palace, only twice as expensive). I got really excited because it looked like they were serving free strawberry shakes, so I poured one and luckily took a whiff because...it was alcoholic. Yuck!!!! Dodged that bullet!
Then we spent the day on the beach, remembered how the sand at at little beach looks exactly like coarse brown sugar. Makes sense at the sugarloaf! We saw people kyaking and found out how to do it, so we'll come back by ourselves sometime and kyak together on a date. On the walk home we found a $10 bill on the floor so we took a cab home!
Speaking of dates, we went on our first date since we said goodbye to family, it was SOOO nice. I love this man. We have a lot of fun together.
