Good morning, valentine’s day. February 14 isn’t a holiday in Brazil. I keep waiting for the flowers/chocolate bombardment of hearts that is associated with this time of year. Nope. The Brazilian equivalent of valentine’s day is in June. But it did rain all last night. It rained enough that I got a call this morning from Flavio, saying the way to Cajueiro Claro was too dangerous for me to (slide) walk down (and up).
I thought he might just be a little “over protective,” but as I walked to the bus stop to get home from Aninha’s house, the back of my legs were covered with mud. And that was on normal streets. So a little extra down time to plan for classes and so on, and to not be aware of non-valentine’s day. Grin.
Shout out with lots of hugs and kisses to my favorite people on this day where we stop and remember those we love. I got dibs on Rowan for a valentine.
