I’m back from paradise!!

Tradition decoration

Hey dear friends!!

I just got back from Brasil and I don’t have any words to describe how great it was. I spent 1 month having fun and I meant fun, really fun!

I think I had forgot the feeling of “living” in a country that I really belong to. I’m truly a Brazilian woman, and more than never I know this now. I was in state of grace there!!

Street's Carnaval in Tupaciguara, where I was born

My dear old/new friend Sergio and I in Tupaciguara!

Marli in green and Claudia in pink. 2 wonderful friends! I love you!!

I met so many friends that I didn’t see for years and even my first boyfriend I met there. It was kind of embarrassing, but I felt like 12 years old again. I got butterfly in my stomach, can you believe it?? Do you know that scene when you are flirting with somebody and the girlfriends are all around to help you, or not J, to get all the expressions and feelings? That is exactly what I’m talking about. Boy, I had fun!!!!

My brother Marcos and his daugther, my jolie nice Maria Luiza!

Carol teaching me how to dance funk/hip hop in Uberlandia!

Tradition carnaval with the samba's "new generation" from Uberlandia!

Those guys know what really matter in life!

Carnaval is really a democratic party

I hung out with my girlfriends and boyfriends a lot. Every single day there was a party to go, a friend to see, new friends to make, relatives to visit. Anyway, I had a wonderful time. Off course, I got like 2 pounds, but who cares!!??
During the 4 nights of Carnaval, I got home around 6 AM and 9 AM I was up again to not waste any time. And the others 26 nights I slept for 8 hours just one time.

My friend, my cousin, my pal Andre! You are the best!!!

Well, I’m packing again. I’m going to France for the weekend. On Monday I will post some pictures showing the differences of the Carnaval in Brasil. Those pictures I posted now are from my “hometowns”, but always Carnaval, “claro”! (Of course in Portuguese) There are a lot of changes depending of the region you are in.

AH! I swear, I miss you guys!! Thank you so much for everything.
Enjoy the pictures!!!

Take care!!
