I got here just before a fun holiday, São João! Which meant Pedro had a lot of time off to hang out with me.
Maybe you saw my Facebook post about it, if not, here is a snippet of Pedro driving me around the neighborhood to check out the fires in the streets.
It's a lot of dancing and dressing up.
I was excited about the dress up, but Pedro said just the kids do that. Bummer. He was right only the kids were really dressed up in the street, I would have looked a little silly... but I still would have done it if I had the stuff!
We ate some food. I don't remember what this is called, but Pedro seemed to like it!
There are a lot of foods made from corn during this festival. My favorite was munguzá. I wanted to find you cool recipe so you could try it at home. The best I could find in English was the following blog: (click the picture and scroll down to the recipe)
BTW, It looks super fancy in this picture but I ate it out of a plastic cup served out of an old rustic giant pot.
You should really try it. It's good!
