Happy New Year!
The rest of my time in Brazil was relaxing, thank goodness. I did walk around the hotel a little after I wrote in my blog, but I didn't want to venture too far since I really didn't know the area. After walking around a bit, I went back to the hotel and slept for an hour or so. I went downstairs at about four to watch the parade, but no one else showed up. So I went alone. I don't know when the parade ever really started, since I waited about half an hour and saw nothing. I decided it was time to go back and maybe get more sleep.
I ran into two other flight attendants in the hotel lobby lounge and joined them. We had a nice conversation and eventually went to dinner in the hotel resteraunt. I never did get to sleep again. When I went back to my room I had about two hours before pick-up. I got my room in order, repacked my bag and ironed a shirt for work. The whole time I was watching "Up Close" starring Michelle Pfieffer and Robert Redford. Fortunately it was in English with Portuguese subtitles.
The flight home was normal. We had a light load which made the work easy. I had to chase two people out of business class who decided they were entitled to one of the open seats. Too bad for them we do regular walks through the cabin and don't tolerate such behavior. Here are there excuses: Pax #1, "My one year-old is all over me and I am trying to get away from him" and Pax #2, "I have a sunburn all over my body." Here are my responses (in my head of course): To Pax #1, "Maybe you should think twice about traveling with him, or maybe you shouldn't have had him at all" and to Pax #2, "Your lack of responsibility does not entitle you to a seat that costs several thousands of dollars, which you didn't pay. Besides, your sunburn will hurt no less here than it did in coach." Gotta love people!
Needless to say I was pretty tired when we arrived in New York. I caught a flight to Dallas and arrived home in Vegas about 12:30 in the afternoon. Beth and I went to lunch at the Olive Garden where we enjoyed their "All you can eat" soup and salad. My favourite soup is the Zupa Tuscana. Then we came home and I slept.
I have updated the website with a new recipe for Brazilian Empenadas, as well as other information about food in Brazil. Check it out, it's very interesting. For example, I learned the type of the resteraunt I ate dinner at is called a churrascarria. All this is on the recipe page. A new calendar for January has been added with interesting info and links about the history of the calendar. Jenn, I have finally updated the link on my links page for your blog.
