curitiba

on thursday i left at 330pm for curitiba.  i arrived there at 6am where i met up with bharbara at the bus station.  bharbara's cousin and grandmother picked us up at the bus station.

during the two full days there, bharbara and i visited a lot of the attractions: jardim botanico, mercado municipal, parque tanguá, ópera de arame, and torre panoramica.  the family took really good care of me.  it seemed like every time i was done eating there was more food ready. haha. also on sunday there was a churrasco and a lot of the family came to the house.  in the afternoon we all watched the final.  i was the only one rooting for holland which ended sadly for me.

before i left, bharbara's uncle gave me a bottle of wine and her aunt gave me canned hot peppers!

so that's the short version of the weekend.  the pictures tell the rest of the story. enjoy!

last nite i left curitiba at 800pm and arrived back in ilha at 1100am today.  i went to the lab this afternoon, but there wasnt much activity there.
