This week's post contains a lot of food pictures because that was a big theme this week.  There are also a few photos of the beautiful waterfall we went to see in Matilde this weekend. I hope everyone had a great week.  Enjoy!

A delicious Saturday breakfast.

A Double Edition - 365 Day Project - Week 14 and 15


I apologize for the lack of post last week.  We had a crazy Easter weekend filled with visitors and way too much chocolate and time just slipped away from me.  To make up for it I have created a double post for you this week.  It's a mix of Easter preparations, because Easter is a very important holiday here, and a variety of other pictures from the last two weeks.  Enjoy!

Visitors!

365 Day Project - Week 13

Autumn has come to Brazil.  Even though it is still over 30 degrees, the evenings are slightly cooler which is good for me.  This week we ventured up to Morro do Moreno in Vila Velha to watch the paragliders.  These guys are seriously brave....it was amazing to watch but I don't know if I could work up the courage to try it myself.  Here are a few shots from there and a few others from this week.

An interesting church being renovated in our neighbourhood.

365 Day Project - Week 12

This week I got a very nice birthday present from my husband.  Since fresh fruit is so cheap and available here we decided to buy a juicer to make fresh juice.  Our first attempt wasn't so good, but from then on.....pure deliciousness!  We are going to try to be healthy and make some vegetable juice as well....we'll see how it goes.  Here are a few shots from our experiments and a few others from this week.  Enjoy!




New juicer!  Such a fabulous red colour as well :)

365 Day Project - Week 11

This week was my first birthday in Brazil.  Like all the firsts I have had here it was a bit strange; but ultimately, it was a lovely day :)  Here are a few shots from my personal photographer and a few shots from me.  Enjoy!

Birthday flowers and breakfast from my lovely husband.

365 Day Project - Week 10



This week has been a really busy one at school; but thankfully, I was able to find a yoga class with an English speaking teacher which really helped me to relax.  It's been really hot here this week as well, which I know I shouldn't complain about.  However, when I'm working in it every day, it often feels like I'm working in a sauna!  Here are a few shots from around town this week.  Enojy!


People will sell ANYTHING here...

365 Day Project - Week 9




This weekend W. and I took another little road trip back to Belo Horizonte for the lovely wedding of two very lovely people :)  Our poor little car survived another long drive thank goodness!  Here are a few shots from this week and a few shots from the wedding.
