On Sunday we mostly just relaxed at the beach apartment. In the morning we listened to a bunch of old LPs that Zi was digging out (mostly Roberto Carlos, with some Michael Jackson thrown in). In the afternoon we went to the mall for lunch and January Christmas shopping. There outside, we saw a long fence completely lined with overlapping bikes on both sides. Mounted on the fence was a sign that read, “É PROIBIDO ESTACIONAR BICICLETAS”. Translation: “PARKING BICYCLES IS PROHIBITED”.
I think we spent several hours at the mall, before going back to the feirinha (little market) by the beach to do more January Christmas shopping. There, we saw another interesting warning sign, the translation of which reads:

WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE WEATHER

Later that night, Cassio came up to me and presented me with a nicely wrapped box, saying in accented English, “This is a gift for you from the family.” I started opening it, then noticed everyone was watching me grinning. Uh oh… I proceeded with caution, and took off the lid. Inside was a long, thick object wrapped in newspaper, so I took off the first layer of newspaper. I took off the second layer of newspaper. I took off the third layer of news paper.
…
I took off the seventh layer of newspaper, and inside was a toothbrush. Ever since I arrived, they had all been laughing at my current toothbrush because it was so destroyed, so I guess they finally had pity on me and decided to fix my problem. :D
