Usually Jen and I go out sailing early, which means by the time one or two o´clock rolls around we are HUNGRY! It started out as plain jam or nutella sandwiches maybe some fruit or veggies. But now it's an art form: Jen goes to the bakery to get these crazy delicious muffin-scone hybrids hot out of the oven while I pick up some yogurt and fresh fruit (mango, pineapple, oranges, etc). Top it off with the complimentary chocolate cake from our pousada and its almost the best meal of the day. Although its hard to compete with the breakfast sandwiches we get made from us every morning. Nothing beats; eggs, ham, tomatoes, a pound of butter and tbsp of salt to start off your morning. (We try not to think of how much of the last two ingredients are added but guaranteed my arteries will not happy by the time we leave.) We've been finding the Brazilians add copious amounts of salt to everything, for example, the toast tastes like popcorn should.
The wind is picking up but I think it's going to be a lazy day today. My elbow is hurting since I stressed it during a Capoeira lesson and Jen's almost got a pulled muscle in her neck. It's very difficult not to go out when the wind is so great, but we just need a day off. Although we both had the same story yesterday and still went out for a 2.5 hour sail.
We helped teach English to a group of 10 kids last night. They were very eager and some quite good at picking up the language. All of them are much faster than I am at learning Portuguese that's for sure.
Jen just came back and said she happened to find out its R$30 for a 30 minute massage. I think this will be a very relaxing afternoon.
