Cultured Liz?!




Ola!! We have been staying in a lovely little colonial town due north of Rio since Tuesday- we arrived at 6am in the morning, checked into a hostel and slept all day-amazing!! Hehe!! It´s a very sweet little town with cobbled streets and a church on every corner, so far we´ve been in 2 of them and 1 museum- which is more than enough for me to be honest!! I feel far too cultured! The town is called Ouro Preto (shown in the map above) which means Black Gold and I´ve learnt lots about the gold mining in the 18th century and a dentist poet dude called Tridentes-check me out!! I´ve drunk lots of beer too.

We are getting the night bus back to Rio tonight and I can´t wait to get back- very excited about carnival which starts tomorrow- they are celebrating here already and there was a drumming parade going on through the town all night last night. Also quite excited to sit on Copacabana beach with a beer.

I´d like to sign out saying ´goodbye´ in Portuguese but I have no idea what it is- portuguese is sooo hard!! Chow?!!
