First Day in Brazil

Happy to be here in Foz do Iguaçu.  But still not flushing toilet paper!


The local supermarket is appropriately merchandised for the upcoming World Cup.


We had our first Brazilian lunch buffet (restaurante por quilo) at said supermarket.


Who can guess which three borders we visited?


The colors on the highway barriers are a hint.


Ruby enjoyed brigadeiro na canega (hot chocolate pudding in a mug).


And I took a liking to bananas flambado with caramel and cheese.  Trust me, it was quite edible.  


Portuguese lessons began too.  It's hard saying "obrigado" or "obrigada" instead of "gracias."  We also figured out sobremesa = postre (dessert) and sorbetta = helado (ice cream), so we're all set.

Oh, we also visited a massive dam today, the second largest in the world.  More on that to come . . .
