BRAZILICIOUS

So my rendezvous plans to meet Bree in Brazil were beginning to materialize and after three grueling days at the Brazilian consulate and several attempts to purchase a plane ticket online, I finally put my manipulation skills to work and was on my way to Rio de Janeiro with just one short layover in Uruguay…no biggie.

I must say, RIO IS B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! An impossible city…a tropical New York built on a glistening beach crevissed between lush green coated mountains. The people are abnormally attractive, the food couldn‘t be more fresh, and the partys never cease to rage on into the abyss. Even the language is enchanting…with a few unsuspected pronunciation twists. In portugues, R’s are pronounced like H’s an T’s are pronounced like CH’s. For example, Rio de Janeiro is pronounced “heeo Shaneho” and in this city my name is no longer Katie, but Kaychee. Kind of a funky twinge eh?? It’s growing on me.
