We decided to get an early start & skip sleeping in so we could make the most of our last day in Brazil. We went to praca da Republica which is a square where merchants sell all types of wares - sorta like a street fair. We were able to buy our gifts there & we also were able to see some of the music & dance culture as we followed the musical sounds in the square. We then went back to our hotel ate a quick lunch ( we officially finished off all our food - all 70 lbs of it!!!- don't ask where it is now !!) & checked out before heading to Oscar Freirre. It's a couple of blocks of all these classy stores that people like to frequent on Sunday's. We joined in & went into some shops. We each actually got something ( souvenirs for ourselves) even Gella !!! & then headed to suco bagacos ( thanx Elky) where they make smoothies & drinks just from fruits. It was very refreshing & just what we needed after walking all day. BH there were some Jewish pple there to help us out since apparently no one spks English in this country !!! We then headed back to pick up our bags & head to the airport with a quick stopover at Pinati to run in & pick up supper. While we were waiting to get our supper, Gella decided that since it was end end of our trip, she'll finally allow us to take our long awaited selfie making a fish face !!! Now we are checked in & sitting comfortably in the lounge awaiting our flight back home.
