Labor Day Weekend Part 2 - The fair / Feriadao do dia do trabalho 2 - Exposicao
We went to a fair in a little town about 30 minutes from Seattle. I didn't know what a fair was, but after seeing it I recognize it very well. We used to go every year in my hometown. First, when we were children we used to go with our parents and the highlights were seeing the animals (stinky cows, horses...), going on the rides and eating junk food fair.
Later, when I become a teenager, I used to go with my friends, and the highlights were watching the music concerts, drinking beer and singing along with the live bands at the beer gardens. It was so much fun. I had not been in a fair again since I left Brazil for the first time, which was 10 years ago (whaaaattt???)...
So this one was very nice, I believe there are larger ones, but this was the weekend we had the time to do it and Andrew had the disposition to take me.
It was really cute. The rides were pretty simple, although they had one that was just like a roller coaster, except it would only loop back and forth. I didn't have the guts to go on it... I am sure Andrew would have gone, he is crazy about roller coasters.
For me, the highlights were the wood carved bears, they were so cute, I added a photo of them. I also was very happy to get a couple of Obama signs I've been wanting to get for a while. That reminds me of a funny story... I got 2 signs from the Obama kiosk and had to carry them around the fair with me. Andrew had warned me that we were probably surrounded by middle-working class republicans, but I didn't care. After all, "it's a free country", no?
Anyway, I carried the signs around the entire fair and nobody said a thing. Then, at some point, I asked Andrew to hold the signs for me while I took a picture of something I saw. He must have had the signs on his hands for maybe 10 seconds, and sure enough there was somebody trying to make an argument with him about the sign...(Obama, really? Come here, I want to I ask you a question, bla bla bla....) The men kept going on and we kept walking away. If he only knew how uninterested Andrew is about all things politics. It was funny though!
Anyway, the fair was nice, the day was beautiful and we had fun. We hope you have fun enjoying some of our pictures.
Mes passado durante o feriadao do dia do trabalho nos fomos a uma exposicao numa cidadezinha perto daqui de Seattle. Eu nunc atinha ido a nenhuma exposicao aqui nos EUA, na verdade acho que a ultima vez que fui a uma exposicao foi provavelmente em Londrina ha muuuuuitos anos atras (uns 10 ou mais...). Bom, descobri que elas sao todas iguais... Aqui tambem tinha bichos (vacas, calalos, etc...), parquinho de diversao, barraquinhas de comida, artesanato, est. So nao tem barraquinhas de cerveja, como no Brasil. O negocio e Coca-Cola mesmo, hehe... (argh!)
Pra mim a melhor parte foram as esclturas de madeira de ursos, tao lindas! Impressionante como eles fazem esculturas tao bonitas de um pedaco de madeira, usando uma serra eletrica...
Eu peguei umas placas da campanha do Obama pra colocar no nosso apartamento (mesmo nao podendo votar, nao custa dar apoio e mostrar a nossa opiniao, nao e mesmo?). Bom, o Andrew me sugeriu que eu virasse as placas de costas,pra ninguem ver. Ele disse que esse tipo de lugar e cheio de republicanos tipo Bush. Eu nao dei muita bola nao, afinal, como eles adoram falar por aqui : "It's a free country!". Nao recebi nenhum olhar feio, e ninguem fez comentario nehum a respeito da minha placa "pro-Obama"... Ate que eu precisei tirar uma foto e pedi pro Andrew segurar as placas p mim por um minuto. ( Detalhe que deve ser esclarecido, o Andrew nao da a minima pra politica, e e claro nao gosta de se envolver em debates politicos)
Como nao podia ser diferente, durante os 30 segundos que eu estava tirando foto e o Andrew segurando as placas, um vendedor quis comecar um "debate" com ele...(Ei, voce ai com a placa, vem aqui, quero te perguntar uma coisa.... Voce se preocupa com o sistema de saude? Voce sabe disso, daquilo, etc, etc, etc....) O homem continuou falando e nos comecamos a nos afastar... Que engracado.... Se ele soubesse que a gente nem vota!!!
Bom, alem disso, experimentei um sorvete feito com nitrogenio. Por que nitrogenio? E usado no processo de congelamento, entao o sorvete nao fica com pedacos de gelo, fica uma textura mais sedosa..huum...eu gostei, o Andrew disse que e truque de marketing e que eu cai em cheio....
Espero que gostem das fotos,e ate a proxima.
beijinhos

Labor Day Weekend I / Feriadao dia do Trabalho l
After giving lots of thoughts and consideration, we decided to stay home for this Labor Day weekend. But that didn't mean we weren't going to have fun. We made a list of things we wanted to do around the Seattle are and picked a few to do this weekend.
So get ready to see a lot of pictures of animals......we went to the Zoo!!
Now, I have mixed feelings about zoos. In one hand, I think it's wonderful that we can see animals that we wouldn't be able to otherwise. On the other hand, I sometimes feel a little frustrated about their conditions. This zoo was really nice overall. Most animals seemed to have lots of space for themselves. Still, there is something about putting them on a window that doesn't seem right....Maybe it's just my vegetarian soul speaking.......Who knows...
Depois de pensar bastante nos decidimos ficar por aqui mesmo para o feriadao do dia do trabalho. Mas nao quis dizer que nao iamos fazer nada de divertido. Fizemos uma listinha de algumas coisas que gostariamos de fazer por aqui e escolhemos algumas. Portanto, preparem-se para ver fotos de bichos...nos fomos ao zoologico!!!
Eu gosto de zoos por umlado, acho que se nao fosse por eles muita gente nao teria a chance de ver e conhecer varios tipos de animais. Por outro lado, fico pensando se e errado por os bicinhos numa amostra, pra gente ver. Esse zoo parceu ser muito bom em termos de condicoes para os animais, alguns, como as girafas e zebras tinham espacos enormes, que eu mesma nunca tinha visto antes num zoo de cidade. Mesmo assim, fica aquela duvida etico-humana (Hum???)
Far relative...?
Parente distante...?
Zebras are so beautiful.......
As zebras sao tao lindas...
The King Sleeps
Soneca de Rei
Tucan in the "rain forest area"
Tucano na "floresta tropical" do zoo
Beauty comes in all sizes.....small....
Beleza em varios tamanhos....pequeno...
and large....
e grande....
Serious look from the hippo
Cara seria do hipopotamo
Love is beautiful !!
O amor e lindo !!
This was my favourite part, to see this little gorila drawing with pink chalk.
Minha parte favorita foi essa, ver esse gorilazinho desenhando com giz cor-de-rosa.
We hope you enjoyed the photos!
Espero que tenham gostado das fotos!

A Perfect Day For A Ballon Ride
Many years ago when Rita first visited Canada I got her a special present. It was something that she always spoke about so I wanted to get it for her.
It wasn't a huge surprise or anything... in fact because of wind and weather, our special day was bumpped about 3 times. The last chance we had was a few days before we were due to head back to the M/S Disney Wonder for work.
Here is a photo of the special event.
Love you honey!

A day at Mt Rainer / Um dia na montanha
Last weekend we drove to Mount Rainer. It was so nice to hit the road and see new sights. The day was just perfect, sunny and warm. Unfortunately, we haven't really seen another day like that since...
The park and the mountain itself are beautiful, of course. But when something is as big as a mountain, one should know that the best way to appreciate its beauty if from the distance.
Getting there, however, was one of the best parts for me (not sure the driver can say the same...) We passed so many little towns.
Flags on the streets or front yards, late summer hydrangeas, home-made huckleberry pies, log cabins for rent (look honey, wouldn't it be nice to spend the night in one f those?) and lots of motorcycle riders.
Semana passada nos fomos ate o Parque Nacional de Mount Rainer, uma montanha/volcao que fica ha 2 horas daqui de Seattle. O dia estava lindo, quente e claro. Infelizmente, foi o ultimo dia bonito que tivemos desde entao...
O parque e a montanha em si sao lindos, e claro, porem, quando se trata de algo tao grande e majestoso como uma montanha, devemos saber que a melhor maneira de apreciar sua beleza e de longe.
A viagem ate la foi para mim uma das melhores partes do dia (nao sei se o "motorista concordaria"). Passamos varias cidadezinhas de beira de estrada, uma depois da outra, com suas bandeirinhas americanas penduradas, hortencias nos jardins, tortas caseiras, chales para alugar (- olha, honey! Nao seria legal passar a noite num lugar desses?).
O dia no parque foi otimo, meu tao esperado pique-nique, ja as 2 da tarde (ai que fome...) foi interrompido por uma cirurgia de emergencia para retirada de uma farpa enooooorme de dentro do meu dedo (ai que dor...)
Can we get the mountain in the photo?
Sera que cabe a montanha na foto?
A ponte do rio que cai....
Smile!!!
