Independence Day Flop

In the 5 weeks that we've been here it never actually rained, only drizzled non-stop for some days. But then it just HAD to rain (like pouring rain) on the 7th, sabotaging our holiday plans ... boo-hoo. 

This was going to be the first Independence Day that we celebrated (as a family). So anyhoo, we spent the day in-doors (you don't say!) and ended up having a nice enough holiday with lots of hot chocolate milk, chocolate pudding, Aristocats, Robin Hood, tea sets, and the like. 

And I've come to the conclusion that Brazilians (very generally speaking) are pretty unpatriotic ... except for when it comes to soccer :D.
