Sopa de feijão--one can never have enough beans (Look at that smile!)
market in Niteroi
Not quite as gruesome as the market in Marrakesh, Morocco--but still pretty wild
spice stands all up and down the street
this was our favorite restaurant--I think we ate here 8 times!
taken from below, this is a picture of our room. We were at the top!

Wow, it's just gorgeous. And how cool that you backed up to the Rainforest!
wowie. what a cool trip. the buildings look weird though...like they're thrown together.
Are you kissing!? Watch out! The Internet police could stick a PG-13 label on your blog... Kiddiiing! :-)
Nice trip and nice pictures. You guys make a cool couple. I would love to go to Rio one day.
Now hand-over the pictures of Brazilian girls with feathers everywhere. :-D
CCV--it was cool--there were marmosets (looks like a monkey) about 15 feet from our window!
TK--they are! Favelas are shanty towns built illegally--with illegal water, illegal electricity, illegal everything! Rio and Sao Paulo have some of the most extensive shanty towns in the world.
Zen--oh, just the feathers? You should check out the beaches ;)
That last picture was positively romantic...
I Love the last picture, so romantic and timeless.
That bowl of beans looks delicious and you two are adorable!
suh weet...I got a cavity from all this ....
I love that last shot! The city looks so alive...and then there you are muggin'!
ps, that bread from that sandwich was from WALMART's bakery! It was called a mini focaccia bread. It was really good. It came with like 6-8 in the bag. I froze the ones we didn't use, so we can pull them out for paninis as we need them.
Buffalo--thanks, man!
Tanja--thanks!! Hey--the Atlanta Art Fest is being held at Piedmont Park this weekend--what are you and Ryan doing Saturday? Good art/music show at Beep Beep around 8. Selmanaires!
Michelle--a girl after my own heart! I'd been surviving on random pieces of fried bread for a week, because NOTHING on the menu was in our dictionary, and "sin carne" in Brazil apparently means....nothing. By the second week, I got the terms for beans, bread, and vegetable down. (I still ended up eating potatoes and beer most of the time)
Doggy--sheeze, talk to my dentist. She'll cure it, sans fluoride ;)
Tommie--No Way! Here, I'm living in the city and the nearest WalMart is 20 minutes away...just like when I lived in the country. Regardless, its like Christmas, every time. Even just for the 50 cent avocados!
Just read your comment, I wish I read it earlier. Next time just give me a call.
My birth country, Guyana shares a border with Brazil but I have never been there. All your vacation pictures indicate that I should though and I think I will.
very cool! i was in rio many years ago. that market looks like good times.
