A lazy day morning today, sitting on the balcony in the sun, listening to the waves below.
Later on in the afternoon we walked along the boardwalk, likely through some shady areas, to Dragao do Mar, a cultural type square with restaurants, planetarium, shops, etc. Unfortunately most things were closed, so we headed for the Central Market, which we could see over the tops of other buildings.
A bit of shopping - more of the same stuff, really.
Then went for happy hour back around the Dragao do Mar area. There still wasn't anything exciting happening, so we headed back to our area to at least be near the action on the boardwalk.
As we settled in for supper, we didn't realize just HOW slow the service would be... So slow, in fact, that Mom even drank some of my beer!
But we were entertained, at least for a while, by people selling stuff. Like these head-scratchers... Which originally creeped Mom out, until a persistent young man suck one in her hair and then she was in heaven!
Anyone who knows Debbie knows how disgusted she is at dirt and dirty things... But below is proof that she loves ice more, as the ice fell and she picked it up and wiped it off with a napkin!!! Huhhh?!?!
I wound up getting my meal, but we waited a long time, close to an hour and half, for Moms. When it still hadn't come we handed the waiter 40R$ ($20) and went next door, where the service was kind and much better.
They really don't speak any English here, and make no attempt to understand you.
