Samba, Samba, Samba!

Saturday night we had our friends Helena and Olga over for a BBQ and then we headed out to Samba. Usually during the Samba the weather is quite warm and all the "Brazilian Beauties" are out in swarms. However, this year the weather was cold, rainy and quite miserable. So much to all of the male attendants dismay, there were very few if any scantily clad "Brazilian Beauties" shaking and jostling about the streets of Coburg this past weekend. From what I saw though, the weather nor the lack of well sunned women dancing in thongs didn't seem to make much of a difference. For the streets of Coburg were still crammed with high spirited, some who even perhaps consumed too many spirits, happy, dancing (badly dancing to varying degrees) hordes of Samba goers.

Our night was mostly spent sitting on a picnic table beneath an umbrella and at a table near the back of a bar previously known as Rio Brasil to escape the rain and cold. We met quite a few new people and ran into Thomas and Bernd. I think a good time was had by all. The night was fairly uneventful but pleasant nonetheless. Well that was until we were walking to the car at the end of the evening. After having fought our way through the throngs of people in the bar we were then faced with yet another journey through the crowd on the street. Just when we were almost through them some random drunk girl decided to make a very bad decision and grabbed my husband. I have no doubt that she was in the process of trying to lay her beer soaked lips on him when he pushed her away before she had a chance. lol He saved her from a world of hurt and me from a visit from the Polizei. lmao I have no doubt that this girl most likely spent the rest of her night in one of two places, a) lying in the street with all sorts of cigarette butts, used napkins and other assorted disgusting things stuck to her person, or b) in the hospital having her stomach pumped. Either way would have served her right. lol

So Samba has come and gone and we have all lived to tell about it, I think anyhow. Today we have plans to go out with a co-worker of Marshall's to a street festival in a neighboring town. First we have to do some grocery shopping and mail a letter. As for those demands for pictures, well you will just have to wait a bit longer I'm afraid. We still need to ditch some boxes. Anyhow, we hope that all is well with everyone and look forward to your comments.

P.S.
The VOIP is back in action so feel free to call but just keep in the mind the six hour time difference.
