Unesp (the University we work at) has an abundance of trees, one of which is a guava tree! I've never actually eaten a guava before, but they are delicious.
We decided to have avocado and bread for lunch and ate it in the lab. Everyone thought it was crazy weird. Avocado's are apparently only eaten sweet here? Odd, I konw. We tried eating the other half of the avocado with sugar to see if we liked it.... not so much. Gesa made us mashed avocado with lemon and sugar though, that was good.
Our lab friends!! Well, two of them. Lucas trained us in the lab, and we've extracted DNA with Thiago.
Brazilian hot dogs are HUGE!! Really though, this thing had TWO hot dogs in it, and bacon, and mini fries on top, and a ton of other miscellaneous stuff in between. After four bites I was full.
The first Mai Thai lesson is free, so we tried it! Gave us a good workout which was nice, but a little odd.
Elena! We got to spend an afternoon swimming with her and her family.
Simone took us out to dinner, it was sooo good! Beans and rice, of course, as well as several different kinds of meat, and this yummy vegetable salad. I had tangerine juice and it was incredible. Probably my favorite juice so far, which I was not expecting. Tastes way different from tangerines in the US.
After church Geza taught us how to make brigadeiros! Super easy, and delicious. The plate was full once upon a time....
We've been working pretty hard to learn Portuguese (helped by Geza who used to teach Portuguese, and is very patient with us). When driving to get hot dogs she taught us parallelepipido, sorry if that is horribly misspelled.
