Last night was the big Festa de Sao Pedro at a big cattle farm near here. The children were dressed in traditional county clothes-so cute, the men wore plaid shirts, lots of people wearing boots... there was so much typical Brazilian food (freshly grilled beef/sausage, rice, beans, salad, corn on the cob, a kind of hotdog, lots of yummy desserts and fresh drinks!!!) The band from Paraguay was playing all evening, you dance on the beats of 2 - 3. There were fireworks and a big bond fire, too. The ranch house, itself, was huge and amazing, reminded me of something from the series Dallas. I hope I can see this farm or a similar one before I leave during the daylight! The soil here is a rusty color and very rich.
I have no idea what kind of trees they had there on the farm, but they were huge, everything was huge!
It was just about the biggest bond fire I have seen!
This is just one of Zila´s cousins at the party - Fernando. He is from Rio de Janiero and adores classic American singers! He is so passionate and knows the lyrics very well and has analyzed them closely, too. It was a real pleasure to meet him and spend time with him.
Dessert!!! Yum!
Thank you to the Soares family for including me on this celebration! Tchau, beijos from Campo Grande!
