Went to the mountains this weekend to get away and relax. Pretty funny to me that Brazilians, who can be warm pretty much all year long, actually pay (quite a bit) of money to go out of town to be cold. I cannot tell you how many people were taking pictures next to the giant temperature sign at night when it reached 7 degrees C on Friday night and 5 degrees C last night. It was pretty funny. I was in a North Face shell and everyone else I saw was in hat, gloves, and parkas running for hot chocolate and coffee.
Anyway, on the drive home today there were tons of police cars, roadside assistance trucks and about 20 cars all stopped as traffic came to a crawl for about 500m (just over 1/4 of a mile). Thought there was a big accident, NOPE, turned out that a beer truck had turned over on the highway and all the cars were stopped to pick up free Skol. I about died laughing. I guess those 40 or so people are well stocked for the game tomorrow.
Three more days until I head home and see friends and family. Getting excited, but also a little stressed with all the work and traveling I have to do when I get home. Off to relieve some stress by running 8k and then figuring out what to do for dinner in between loads of laundry. An exciting Sunday night!
Cheers
Adam
