Day 7: June 11, 2009

I am tired, can you tell? :) Sipping a cappuccino while waiting for my online course session (last one!!!).

This morning, we had two more lectures -- one on Brazilian politics and the other on Brazilian culture. Both presenters made this statement: "Brazil is not for the beginners..." Yes, their politics, culture, history, traditions, etc. are very complicated and require serious studying to understand even marginally. That's why I won't expand on anything here.
Then we walked about ten blocks to an upscale Arabic restaurant (http://www.arabia.com.br/breve/) and had a wonderful lunch. It was pricey but delicious, with food served in a very nice setting. Apparently, there are more Lebanese in Brazil than in Lebanon so it's not surprising that there are a lot of good Arabic restaurant that serve authentic dishes.
