All to ourselves

 Thursday January 1. Happy new year. We stayed in until 9 to give places to open if they did open today. Here in Brazil new year day is more celebrated than Christmas. Nothing was open and even more impressive not many cars and we passed 1 person in our walk to the metro. 


Any other day you line up to get on the escalator. No lines to go through the turnstile. But now we came to a halt. Grandma had left her driver’s license back in the apartment. No i d no ride. Life is good. The place was running but just a couple of riders. So we headed back to the apartment choosing another route. This was not my best idea. The first block was flat then we walked up a steep hill. Two blocks later we were well above our apartment and even higher than the temple. The terrain here reminds me of San Francisco either up or down with a few roads following the low spots.


Notice the temple in the middle one after we had walked down half of the way. The green sign is the fairly large store that is easiest and closest for us.

We walked back home and grandma was done. I cooked and watched some television. Not much to do. Days spent in are tough. I know suck it up buttercup. Watched a lesson in Portuguese that may help. No rain. Love to all.
