Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Brazil

phew, that flight was long. 20 hours on a plane. What a way to celebrate my 64th birthday.
We're going directly to our hotel and catching some much needed rest before we go out for dinner. This is a great time to recap your experiences thus far or do BCoF's prompts which I'm also sharing.

write a recap of our trip thus far.

One of the interesting things about the trip is the world wide fight against covid 19. Everywhere we go people have put in place the known safety measures against the virus.

Even out two ventures into Balloon flight were invaded by the 6 foot between people and mask rules.

We visited so many port cities. I was enjoying the ocean views, sea birds, and walks on sandy beaches. Museums are another of the places I enjoy. This trip there were so many I could not visit each one.

Of course the shopping was sublime. There were bolts and bolts of colorful fabrics especially the silks from Viet Nam. And I can't forget the teas or special tea pots I saw. I came away with some websites where such buys can be found on line.

So many colorful gardens, it was easy to see many people from the countries we visited are trying to save plant species and animal species during this time, when the earth is experiencing major animal extinctions.

Today's News:

According to a recent associated Press article the USA ambassador to Brazil Tod Chapman is pushing a lift of tariffs on ethanol in order to influence voters in Iowa to favor President Trump in the upcoming election. He has become close to the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who seems to be a fan of President Trump.

Bolsonaro has been fighting a case of covid 19.

The Hotel Royal Tulip Avorado has all the luxury anyone could want. After viewing the setting and the Building I was interested in the Architect. He must be famous for his work on this particular project. The architect for the design of the Royal Tulip is a German man named Joao Frederica Ludovice. Another famous building he designed is the Palace-of Mafra in Portugal. Ludovice has his own Wikipedia page.

As we were trying foods I gained a new recipe for Aji Green Sauce. However, I thought some Avocado added to a smaller amount of jalapeno chili would tone down the flavor to within an eatable spice range so I might try it my way.
