With my Feet Firmly on the Ground

Somewhat of a rarity, this weekend has found us in Recife, with no fixed plans, no guests [ :-( ], and no imminent trips to the airport! After a whirlwind month of visitors, travel, adventure, and thousands of kilometres of airtime, we're not quite sure what to do with ourselves, other than enjoy a lazy Saturday morning coffee and croissant. I'll post some travel stories and photos as the weekend progresses, but here in a nutshell is why things have been rather silent on caipirissima:

June 17: Visitor # 1 arrives;
June 22 am: Visitors # 2-3 arrive;
June 22 pm: Visitor # 4 arrives;
June 23: Depart for São Luis and the Lençóis Maranhenses (vacation);
July 1: Brazil gets eliminated from the World Cup;
July 3: Return to Recife
July 4: Guest # 5 arrives;
July 5: Depart for Brasilia (work);
July 6 am: Guests # 2-3 depart;
July 6 pm: Guest # 5 departs (to rejoin in Fernando);
July 6 pm: Return to Recife;
July 7: Depart for Fernando de Noronha (vacation);
July 12: Return to Recife;
July 13: Guest # 4 departs.

Needless to say, it's kinda nice to not have to quickly wash clothes and throw them back in a bag! Another cup of coffee, please!
