Futebol and hippies
Here's another batch of new, authentic, uniquely Brazilian experiences. Went to my first "futebol" game. It was Ponte Preta versus . . . someone else, it doesn't matter, I would get kicked out of town if I even thought about another team. Adoring Ponte is a must. And I do. Mostly because of one beautiful goal right in front of my face during the last few seconds of the game. The pontepretanos are extremely devoted and passionate, and they even taught me some inappropriate new vocab words.
Then there's the "hippie fair" which is a whole other kind of fun. Every weekend we have this huge outdoor market in the city center with all kinds of crazy foods, arts & crafts, and of course some hippies. Oh wow, I'm liking this place. [fotos aqui]
