This was one jam-packed post guys! I especially loved the Rio inferences--Caipirinha is probably my favorite cocktail, love the samba and their churrascarias. Rio is a trip! Love Brazil in general where everything is simply so huge. I've written about it in the past. Will have to revisit those posts. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Can’t wait to listen to the episode. My husband was born & raised in Rio de Janeiro. His family is still there and I’ve visited at least a dozen times. However, due to the omnipresent danger (more than street crime), we haven’t been to Brazil since 2017. It’s just too dangerous to be able to relax & enjoy the beauty of the country.
I moved to Brazil in 2018 - São Paulo, and now Paraty. I hope you get the chance to visit again soon, because I think there are definitely ways to relax and enjoy it!
Yes, but it's slow going! Since I normally read for pleasure/escapism/entertainment, I rarely reach for a book in portuguese since it feels more like homework. I wish I did it more!

YAY! So glad you enjoyed it. I wish I had a caipirinha on the beach right now!
Ditto!

I agree that there are parts of Brazil that are safe, or safer. But to visit in Rio de Janeiro is not comfortable for my family.
Huh, I had no idea... that's really too bad.
Your blog is such a delightful way to spend my Friday mornings 💖 I appreciate the potpourri of so many interesting and fun finds. Thank you!!!
I'm so glad! Thank you for letting me know — that made my day. Have a great weekend!
So excited to listen! The Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmao was the first book I read in Portuguese :) Really enjoyed her other book as well
Whoa. You can read in Portuguese — is that a 2nd (3rd? 4th?) language for you? So cool. I need to know more, please.
Finally got a chance to listen to the ep, and loved it + the shout-out!
YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
