DIY & Learning Portuguese


All the big jobs have been done in the appartment but there are lots of small things to do. Here is Martin putting up a new curtain rail in the bedroom. (the camera has a broken viewfinder).

Visited yet another great cafe, Amazem cafe in Ipanema - unfortunately a bit expensive.

In the evening went to the Jobi which is really nice bar in central Leblon. Martin reckons it is the equivalent of the Coach & Horses in Soho.

Now on the third attempt 3rd different beach side cafe for a coconut drink and the barmen smiled so this could be the regular stop.

Afterwards had my first Portuguese class with Karina. She is 35 and has been teaching portuguese for 15 years, working freelance. It is very tiring, and not very satisfying, working at something that doesn't come easily. Luckily Karina is a good and patient teacher.
