"I will have three envelopes, a stamp and a pack of cat food, please!"

I started this blog with a mere wish to share with you the neverending surprises I see every day on this side of the world. And after 2 months of trying to do my best, I have to admit, it is a mission impossible! (Alongside with our Lossing For Winning mission in regards to my husbendinho:)) There is just too much of it! Because everything would deserve to be described in the blog. Starting with the special, in-built WC paper holders, unique restourants on the street corners with 2 plastic tables and few more plastic chairs. Even a visit to a post office finished with a funny adventure - it turns out you can't make a coppy in the post office OR buy a stam.. But you can do it in the pet shop across the street :D Last week we brought our friend Liene to our favourite restourant. And her reaction was a precise coppy of my first visit to this.. place! At first you even don't believe sombody is really enetering these doors not even having the idea of eating here! But, oh heaven, people DO eat here! And eat really good food!

With the pride of Brazil - Guarana... Hm... Thiago gets REALLY upset when I say that it tastes like our Pinokio soda drink in Latvia AND like the Scottish national pride - Irn Bru :)

The receit. This is a self service place. So, you first take what you want, then go in another little chamber with a big oven where you have the BBQ king offering you all kinds of meet. After that you put your plate on the scale, order a drink and enjoy your meel. The number you see on the receit is the money we need to pay.. hm.. my plate was first... BUT i did take some meet for my husband :)

Don't forget to pay!

Enjoying the view :D

And then there is the other side of Brazil. One that surprises you with its beauty. One that takes your breath away. One that reminds you that there must be something more, Someone more, because this kind of beauty just couldn't happen on its own. I wish I could take all my family and all my friends here so you can see and feel what I see and feel. Maybe in future :) But for now - only a little photo report :)

A waterfall in the jungle in the center of the city :)

Rio from the so called Chineese View. Beautiful!

LOVE HIM!!!!

With husbendinho and Lienīte. 

Eating an Acai - a frozen Acai fruit juice. Nice!!

One morning Thiago wakes me up with the Latvian anthem and says - "Now this will be our tradition. We will wake up with Latvian and Brazilian anthems!" Hm..

In the place you can't call any different then PARADISE - Araial de Cabo

We took one of the biggest boats to go on a little cruise stopping only to enjoy some time swimming and sunBURNING on the most spectacolous beaches ever!

I cought him doing THIS on my return from the restroom. Even in the middle of the road there's always a TV screen showing one of the million soccer games going on in one or the other place of the world.
