After a long and tedious process of applying for our visas last minute at the Brazilian consulate in Iguazu, we finally got the little sticker in our passports we've been waiting for! The old grumpy Portuguese man didn't make the process easy on us- he made us take several runs to the print shop to print and re-print our documents. Our middle names weren't on one so of course, we had to re-do that one too.
Brazil is a HUGE country, the fifth largest in the world to be precise. Getting on a bus to São Paulo with no expectations. All we know are the following things:
1) the currency is called Reals
2) São Paulo has more than 27 million people
3) a smidge of Portuguese- practicing on the handy duo lingo app, I can now confidently say "the cat drinks milk" and "I like pineapple and beer." Duo Lingo likes to announce at the end of each round that I'm 2% fluent in the target language.
Bags packed again, sunscreen in hand- we're ready for the beaches!!
