On the day of new years eve, we took a stroll around paraty. We walked through the shops and chatted with the retailers. They didn't all speak english but that added to the fun.
At night we had a new years party at our place in paraty with about 25 people. Apparently it's custom here to wear white on new years so as the crowds formed or the fireworks, it appeared as though a bunch of sailors have reached land. The fireworks were absolutely fantastic and were only a few hundred yards in front of us. Yeah, prob not the safest idea, but hey, we're in bazil.
I'll have aaron write some nice flowery blog entry later today, but I must not wake the boy, cause a grumpy aaron is no fun.
Hope you all had a lovely new year, and happy 2009!

I wore all white on new years also. You probably didn't bargain all that well if you didn't speak their language. I hope you got something for me. If you didn't. Not cool.
