Boa Noite!

Brasil!

yeah, yeah. I know. No write blog long time.

And a majority of the blog followers don't give a hill of beans about posts without cute Norah pictures... suffer through the following and perhaps you'll be rewarded

Let's just overlook 3 months of inaction to check out a few pictures from Petropolis, Brazil. It's a beautiful town outside of Rio de Janeiro where my employer has a jet motor factory.

Today was my first day in Brazil and so far so good. I'm in Petropolis for the next week and a half to help out at the local facility. The people I've met have been very friendly and inviting, the town might as well be some where in Switzerland or Germany (with the added bonus of palm trees and monkeys!!!) and the food so far has been unreal. The caipirinhas ain't so bad either.

Nisha and Norah will come with me next time.

My Brazillian Portugeuse is pretty week but I'm getting around.

Here's Norah in her cutest "lunch" outfit. Nisha has friends that voluteer at the Carolina Tiger Rescue and hosted us and a few others for a private tour. Very fun! Norah agrees!


Yes, that's a rickety chain link fence that doesn't appear to be anchored on the bottom. Really neat place but you really come to understand your position in the food chain in the grand scheme of things... in this case definitely not at the top.
