Day: 21 1/2 Pipoca!

Have I ever told you how much I love popcorn?  Well, just throwing that out there.  There are a few ways to my heart, most of you know that I adore milk, I absolutely love it and have promised my family that I will not get married until I have found a man that I love more than milk, and I intend to keep my promise.  Popcorn is another love of my life, the people I work with at Dialogue know this as we have popcorn Fridays and I just down that stuff like it was going out of style.  I also love a few other things, but let´s not get carried away, I can´t give out all my secrets.
Anyway, I did eat some popcorn this weekend and it was so stinkin tasty, and we had some of the best icecream I have eaten in a long time-yea for food!


Speaking of food, this is me a fw weeks ago helping to make some food made out of...can you guess?  I hope you can cause that means you have at least paid a little bit of attention to what I am writing in these things.  That´s right, made out of corn!

 There are signs like these posted all along the beach here in Boa Viagem which is the area that I am staying at here in Recife.  I was told, so believe what you will, that the reason there are so many sharks here is because Recife is right near the point of Brazil where the cold current goes shooting out into the ocean and the warm current comes down, so it is more suited for them.  That is just part of it I am sure but there is a little fact for you, be it true or not.
     We went out to Cara-something and took a boat ride along the rivers to look at the many attractions of Recife.  This place is right across from ground zero and is filled with a bunch of sculptures that were made by the cousin of the man who made that really cool museum/castle thingy we went to a few weeks ago.  The sites were beautiful, there is a lot of history and culture here in Recife.  We went under a ton of bridges and every time you go under one you are supposed to clap and make a wish.  It took me a bridge or two to understand what they were doing, and then after clapping under two bridges or so I was done, you can only get so many wishes in one day right?  So for the next four or more I rebelled and didn´t clap, ha!
