Delicious memories

I arrived home four days ago and have been busy catching up and getting back into the flow of normal everyday life after a long holiday with you in Brazil. My body is still not completely adjusted back to the time zone here and I am waking up at strange hours of the night.  I have only just started to reflect on my travels in Brazil and on all of the new things I saw and experienced. Even after spending almost a month there, I still feel I know it only on the most superficial level. I loved many places that we saw but I think perhaps Rio the most, especially the old town and port and our culinary walking tour of the area. I would be happy to go back again one day and explore it for longer and in more depth.

Thinking about it, there are lots of small things I discovered in Brazil which I am starting to miss as well. For example, the great juice bars which you find everywhere, the fried manioc snacks which are perfect with a beer and for breakfast, I miss pao de queijo the deliciously chewy cheese rolls made from tapioca flour which are sold at every bakery and corner shop across the country it seems. While not very good for my waistline, I loved them and can even say I was addicted to them by the end of the trip. But of course, the thing I am missing most right now from Brazil....is you. Thank goodness we will not be apart for long this time and I will be seeing you here in Thailand in less than a week from now. We will have a lovely time.
