I could not partake however, because i was spending the day puking and oh boy was it great! I feel better now--well enough for a beer and a cheesey sandwhich that costs 17 dollars because i found out Brazil is expensive. Its really expensive. Its hard to pay attention when im spending Real (the local currency) because i keep thinking "oh $50 real is like... 10 bucks right?" yeah, no.
Another exciting tidbit: here people use the "H" sound for words that start with R. for example, Rio is pronounced "Hee-oh" and Real is "Hey-all" its funny hearing all the americans quietly mumble different versions of the same word cause Portugese is not that familiar sounding. i feel like i am picking a lot up--maybe cause i ask our guides how to say everything.
Sorry: Descampo
Beer: Cerveche
Receipt: Receebo
Rua: Street
