Pancake day AKA Rio carnival 2013. Baby.
For nearly two years I knew my little world tour would end with Rio carnival which I thought was an epic way to end proceedings. The thing is I had no idea what carnival was all about nore did I know what to expect. Looking back I still don't really know what to make of it all!

Burn baby burn
... a cute old waiter who I adored because he brought me a whole bottle of ketchup, and we ate cheeseburgers in which the burger was TOAST. My brother would love this - he hates the sesame seeds in the buns so I thought of him at this moment. I guzzled down my carbs and felt about 50 per cent better.
