After spending 3 weeks isolated, having little more than bread and water, MJ does deserve to be treated like a princess!
Deixamos ela dormir até mais tarde, para recuperar o sono. E ainda teve direito a um belo café da manhã servido na cama, mordomia muito merecida!!!
We decided to let her sleep in, to recover from all the stress. And she also deserved to have breakfast in bed, don't you think?...
Café da manhã na cama! Breakfast in bed! |
We prepared a delicious bubble bath for her to relax even further and to get ready for the day ahead, full of activities and new things to try. The bath robe and the slippers were a gift by Celeste Santos some time ago. They've been waiting for the perfect person to wear them and MJ totally qualifies! They'll be our gift to her to bring along her world trip.

Then she spent the rest of the morning and half of the afternoon at Moonflower's BBF, Laura (my most recent alter-ego) :) . They had lots of watermelon juice and 'Napolitan' ice cream (a mix of strawberry, vanilla & chocolate) with fruit salad for desert.
E também o famoso e prometido churrasco!....
And for lunch, the promised Brazilian barbecue!...

After all that food, of course they got a little sleepy. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of MJ taking a nap in the hammock, lol....
Depois levamos a MJ para conhecer um pouco da cidade.
It was then time to have a city tour.

Her favorite place was the 'Mercado Municipal'. The building is from the 1950's, and it's well preserved. Now it has a restaurant, some cool bars, and often hosts some music shows. There we can also find typical regional products: food, crafts and 'cachaça' (an alcoholic beverage similar to rum, but different). Cachaça is used to prepare 'Caipirinha', a typical Brazilian drink. MJ hasn't tried it yet, but soon!... ;)

I wish I could send a little bit of all those to the next hostesses, but MJ would't get through customs with all that in her luggage... and once is enough, poor girl!...
No final da tarde o tempo fechou, com muito vento e chuva forte! Então voltamos para casa para ela se preparar para viajar. A partir de amanhã vai conhecer um pouco mais do Brasil: será uma cidade por dia nos próximos dias antes dela partir. Está animadíssima!
By the end of the afternoon the weather changed dramatically: very windy and a storm! So we headed back home so she could get ready for the next step: starting tomorrow, she will visit a city a day until she leaves the country. She's absolutely thrilled!
Love the robe and slippers! Thank you Ana Paula. Great idea showing the food and drink, shops and touristy places! She will be a busy "little" lady!
ResponderExcluirJazzi, I recently realized it was actually a gift (giveaway) by Celeste Santos. I've already corrected the info on the post. It's adorable, isn't it? :)
ExcluirSo busy! But I bet she is having so much fun. Look she has found a new friend already!
ResponderExcluirPrincess indeed! What a wonderful adventure!!
