This Saturday we had a party for Nelson's birthday. On Saturdays it is typical to eat feijao so Marcia had made a huuuuuuge pot of it for the party. There was lots of dancing, lots of beer, lots of caipirinhas and lots of new people! It was lots of fun and great to meet some new lovely people!

Today we went to Estrda Bonit, which is a long round in the countryside, in Joinville. Along the road are lots of different farms that sell homemade cheese, bread, jam etc.

We found another little cafe with an all you can eat home-made buffet. They seem to be everywhere, which is great as it is cheap, but not going to be good for my waist line!!
