My big, fat Italian Easter
... the Brazilian accent suddenly becomes more Italian and people swear in an Italian dialect (which I don't fully understand, but doesn’t matter).
But overall, this is the city of the PELLEGATTIS.
We only knew one of them (through the internet): Gérsio. Motivated by our thirst for cultural exchange, we boarded a bus from São Paulo to Campinas, where –hopefully- there would be a person we had never met before ...

Everybody wanted to get ahead of each ...
Communication breakdown
I thought that speaking Spanish would make it an easy transition to trying to communicate with Brazilians speaking Portuguese, but I was very wrong! From the moment we landed in Brazil, the confusion (and frustration) began because we were having such a hard time understanding the language. When it comes to reading Portuguese, I am usually able to get by but when it is spoken it is a different story. It has a strong French sound, and I do not speak French! ...
