11.09.19 - Casei na balada

Hallooo,

Do excuse the lateness of this missive, but we've been coming down from an absolute blinder of a party in an island paradise resort, so blogging kind of fell by the wayside for a day or two.

As you may be aware FredWed2019 took place this weekend in São Sebastião, after a few days in Paraty and Ilhabela, attended by São Paulo's brightest and best, plus some out-of-towners who soon got into the spirit of things after lots of caipirinhas.  Twas a lovely ceremony - even the cake was in tiers, etc - and a great party with a partial Fat Gabby reunion and a whole Actual Gabby singalong.

The next day we went to Ilhabela for the afterparty, which turned into a sort of Ilhabela greatest hits, including endless prawns by the sea and of course Pimenta de Cheiro to cap things off.  After that we checked in to our seriously luxurious hotel to sleep for about 12 hours, and spend the next two days lounging around by the pool, beach, restaurant, spa, steam room, Finnish sauna, etc. So that was pretty cool. 

Today we're taking it easy albeit cleaning the house from top to bottom - I have an extra few days before I'm shipped off to Switzerland (via New York AND Atlanta, which seems excessive) thanks to my previous airline going under.  I even get to check in hold luggage for free! 

No compilation I'm afraid, but my phrase of the day is "I got married on the dancefloor" - i.e. I stuck with one person all night, so it must be serious. 

Lovely to see you, and speak soon!
Fred Wedding
