soccer, the beach and a band...oh my!

We slept the whole day after the party. We got home at about 6 am and were snoring til 3 in the afternoon! Then, Felipe, Gus, Guillerme (another friend) went to a soccer game. Outside the stadium was complete mayhem. There were sooo many people! Everyone was young, beautiful and...drunk. I didn't think so many beautiful people existed. The stadium fits about 100,000 people and it was just about full. The fans were nuts. They were singing and burning stuff the whole game. It was FABULOUS! American sports suck.
Something weird I learned today: there is a TV channel completely dedicated to selling cattle....like CVS for farmers. (what the hell?)


The next day we went to Ipanema beach. (you know like the song. I thought that I could never see so many beautiful people in one spot again, but I did. And they were even more beautiful. The "ugly" ones could model for Victoria Secret!

Felipe told me that at 3:30 all the young people come and the older ones leave and then everyone smokes pot until sundown at 6. And then they cheer. I thought that was cool. We went home, took a nap and prepared ourselves for another party. This time Pagode. This time I was stoked. This is my favorite kind of Brazilian music. We went to the concert, drank some beer on the street ( $2.5 for 2 40 oz. bottles!!!! hot damn) and danced our asses off. There were so many people. A really famous old lady sang with the band there. She walked right by me... it would be cool if I knew her name.

Brazil - 1 pt. for awesome sports
- 1 pt. for pagode
- 3 pts. for cheap beer and drinking in the streets
