Well I guess it’s about time we write some updates! Still no internet here, and still no mobile phone. I have hard time putting up with the fact that it can be so hard to get it, but apparently it is. Yesterday the whole day I spent sawing curtains. While Marina is doing more advanced work, that all is pretty natural for now I guess, until my Portuguese gets better (it’s probably about time I open the book…)
So last night was samba night. It’s right next to the outdoor place where they sell drinks, so it’s quite practical. Marina and I had some drinks at home (Scandinavian style!) before we hit the sand-road around 1 a.m. It figures that Friday night is the biggest night out in town, and we met everyone there. There was some live music (yes, samba) and there was some main-stream provided by a DJ, but it was mostly the locals that were on the dance-floor, all the gringos stayed by the bar. Marina ditched me around 2 and I stayed with this cool Finnish/Swedish/Greek girl I met last week-end, who stays in the hostel. There was quite a bunch of people from the hostel and we just hanged out and chatted away, and by the time they closed it was already break of dawn so we decided to climb the Sunset dune to watch the sunrise. I must say it was quite amazing!
We stayed a while, there was this guy from Fortaleza who came for a week-end with a Russian girl, he is in her hosting family. He was interested in rugby so I did my usual rugby-is-the best-sport-in-the-world-all-the-other-sports-should-not-be-allowed sales pitch (that job is never done, eh!) and a Kiwi guy who was there confirmed it and said it was strange to meet a Russian in Brazil who is so passionate about rugby. I did a demo tackle on a Dutch guy and got another approval from the Kiwi. By then the sun was quite high up so we all shuffled home. It was time to grab some sleep cos it was a new day already!
