On The Road!

So we did our first road trip here in Brazil, Joey, Abner, Lucas, Lizi and me, and of course, we couldn't just leave Lance behind, so he went along with us. Our goal was to scout the land of a nearby tourist town for restaurant singing and caroling. And the Lord did wonders, we stayed at the beach house of one of our supporters there, with a beautiful pool, where Joey stayed with Lance during the day while the rest of us went out singing. The house was just amazing, with luscious grass all around it, where Lance spent his days barefooting around with Dada, and swimming in the fresh pool under the warm sun. The rest of us got to get up and ready ourselves for battle, with restaurants filled to the brim with tourist from all over the country, and even foreigners. These were expensive beach towns named Guarapari and Meaipe, and we sang in a nationally known restaurant for it's sea food, including the "muqueca" fish type dish which we of course indulged ourselves in. DELICIOUS!!! We also drank of the very tropical fruit juices, which for Joey was the first time," graviola with milk" and "cocoa fruit with milk", totally heavenly!
These restaurant were so expensive, though the floors were artificially covered with beach sand, in order to make the clients feel as if they were dinning in the beach, totally cool. Each dish would cost around $100 reais, and we ate there for free, as the owners were very friendly and invited us to eat with them. We'd carol for the tables at lunch hour and at dinner times, and we'd get so many applauses, and they'd all tell us how professional we were-ha! Little did the know we'd only practiced together a couple of times. PTL!
