What a weekend it's been, full of highs, lows, lightning storms and all-you-can-eat brunch. Spent a grim few hours on Friday night online as the news from Paris came through, only to be whisked away for a pre-arranged evening of steak and televised football, which made for an uneasy contrast - especially since by the time we got back, all the electricity in the neighbourhood had gone out, leaving us little option but to mull in the dark before turning in for the night.
It was all very intense after the events of the night before - we got heartfelt and only barely comprehensible speeches in Portuguese from Eddie Vedder, a cover of "Imagine" and extra-charged versions of "Alive" and "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" to round the evening out, not to mention a full on tropical storm about halfway through which only added to the experience. One of the best shows I've been to, fo' sho' - pics are attached!
And then the next day, for an encore, we went to an old-school NY-style restaurant in Itaim, which I'd had my eye on for some time, where I satisfied my craving for pancakes and coffee several times over at the all-you-can-eat buffet, before rolling home for a nap.
Since then we've been putting the final touches on my impending Eurotrip, plotting a weekend away in Ubatuba aboard Claudio's boat, and shoring up our plans for New Years, which currently involve this place: http://www.ilhabela.
Hope you're all keeping well - Jub, let us know how you're getting on when you have a chance! Stay safe and such. Looking forward to seeing you all soon and defiantly drinking champers in gay Paris (everyone seems determined to eat out once they get there...).
Ciao for now,
