May 10 - Meeting up with Sister Frame!



Hands down, The highlight of today was tracking Haley down on the
streets of East Sao Paulo for an oh-too-brief visit. It was so great
to see her!!!

She is doing stellar on the mission, I can tell. She is training a
brand new American companion right now so I felt bad talking about how
Haley is finally on the downhill stretch (9 months left as of
Wednesday!) but who could resist. We laughed to realize the last time
I saw Haley was exactly 1 year ago in France. And now we're meeting up
in Brazil. What a world. I delivered her bag of requested items from
Trader Joe's while we ate at Habib's (Middle Eastern fast food...
Options are slim).

I have a photo of the reunion but that's on my computer and I am on my
phone. So instead of that (watch for a post-edit) I will share this
photo of a bathroom in Van Gogh Pizzeria in Santos (pronounced Van
Goggy in Brazilian haha). Every single surface is made out of mirrors.
The walls and doors. The counters. The floors. Inside the stalls
(think about that one for a second...). It's hard to relay just how
mentally confusing this place is!

At 6am we are off to Iguassu Falls, Paraguay, and Argentina. All in
only 24 hours. How does one accomplish so much in so little time?
You'll have to come back to find out!!


Post-edit:

Haley and I met up at her local market, D'Avo. ("Just down the road" according to all 700 people we asked...). Afterwards we ate at Habibs.

Which I may or may not have also eaten at the day before...

Hello green hooded sweatshirt with ruffle embellishments!!!! You look like you were meant to belong to me!

Meeting up with friends halfway around the world is always a highlight experience. Can't wait for the photo.
