Did you know that Coconut water is…

Malu drinking coconut water

• 99% Fat Free
• Low in sugars
• an all natural isotonic beverage to re-hydrate your body
• loaded with potassium much more than a banana
• naturally sterile- water, permeates through the filtering husk
• containing lauric acid, which is present in human mother’s milk
• less sodium than sports drinks
• very high in chloride 

It’s basically the BEST rehydrating beverage out there.  Here we consume them fresh from the coconut with a straw poked through, and very cheaply {about $1.00}

We will miss drinking coconut water on a daily basis.  Its Malu’s absolute favorite. I am aware it is available in the US, but for a hefty price tag.

Not to say I wont buy it.  

As I will.

But  it will be a treat, rather than a daily habit

We gave him a bit of bread to capture a few photos .. had no fruit on hand!!! He seemed to enjoy it

Look who showed up in our yard the other day.  How beautiful is he?  After taking these photos .. I tried to shoo him away, cause our cats have been known to hunt these guys  

Order your Brasilazy now !     I *LOVE* these bags, and my friends that sell them!  They make the perfect seat. They are great for indoors, outdoors {easily washed} poolside, etc.  They can be formed in any way you like, and come in many different colors.  And I should mention these “puffs” are soo darn comfy. 

If you are within Brazil and would like to buy one, they will happily ship one to you {minus filling, that you can buy online or in your city for relatively cheap} 

For prices and shipping info contact Krista at enseadadosgolfinhos@gmail.com or visit her site here .  {just a little reminder, this is her Pousada’s website, but all her contact info is there.  And if you are ever in Pipa you can always swing by and buy one in person.}

You don’t know what your missing until you sit in one of these …. 

Brasilazy in use.

On the way to the sugarcane plant, to produce some bio-fuel…  

Overloaded Sugarcane Truck

The view from behind ... eeshh .. -The Local-

Do you think they could fit another piece of sugarcane in this friggin’ truck ?  This was the truck we were behind on the way to Natal a few days ago, before I made Max pass them!   SCARY!

Ever since having ideas about creating my blog, I have always known that I wanted to have at least one day of the week to display a photo/s from life in Brazil.   To display totally random stuff of everyday life.  And well, even though I LOVE writing .. I too, need a day off every now and then.   So every Wednesday I will post a photo or photos with little to no words displaying something of life in Brazil.  Enjoy !  

A REASON NOT TO SMOKE :   (besides it being horrible for your health)

In the US we don’t have these ads on the backs of cigarette packs. (well not to my knowledge, I don’t remember seeing one the last time I was home)  But in Brazil and Europe they have various adds all over cigs on why you should not smoke.  I thought this one was quite funny .. .. soo ladies get your men to stop smoking TODAY !!  ;-)
