Captain's Blog 04.03.2011 part 2

This afternoon, we went to Tudo Kilo, now our favorite lunch place on campus.  We were sitting at our table, and the nurse from the University health clinic came over to the table, and said hello. She appeared as a very severe, Nurse Ratched when I went to check in for my required medical interview when I started work.  Last night as we walked home, about 2 AM,  mind you, we turned the corner to Rua Alvarenga and ran in to a huge bloco… dancing, and singing and enjoying themselves… we of course not wanting to  be thought of as stuffy or out of step joined in for the last song… and danced with the nurse… to day she was all bubbly, and nice and left us saying,

“A gente não para trabalhar quando está chovendo ou quando temos sol. Então não vamos parar de dançar por causa de chuva ou do sol!”

This is why I so love this town, this university, this country, and my husband! Carnaval is a transformation…
