| Miss Minas Gerais Beauty Pageant in Tiradentes |
A grand day out... João & Silvia offered to go to Tiradentes in their car for the day. Tiradentes is about 160km from Ouro Preto... and very different than Ouro Preto... warm, flat, trendy... on the way there we stopped at Resnde and looked at furniture and stuff... the furniture in tiradentes was more expensive... and on thewya home we stopped in Lagoa Dorada at a place called "
Movies D'Marco" and ordered this table (
click the link) and two benches and two chairs... and huge steel platter that weighs at least 10 kgs... we decided to order a bed from a palce in Resende... if we had a truck and a huge house, man we could really do well... a lot of amazing furniture is being produced from recycled wood, doors, windows, etc...
On the way home we were gifted a remarkable full moon, and the
cruzeiro do sul all the way home... Obama is here, the flowers are blooming, the harvest is coming in, life is good, and people are a happy... it is such a contrast from the train wreck of an economy in Os States... I feel especially blessed to be able to be buying stuff for a new life here...
The evening news was showing us Obamas' visit... Brasil is happy that a US President is willing to go to Rio... they showed the children painting signs in Cidade de Deus (the favela he will visit tomorrow) saying "Yes we also can!"... it is very moving... he makes me very, very proud!
