Lovely! Your personal thoughts/experiences add such a nice texture to the pictures. A lot of this has been on my radar if I ever go to Brazil. Bookmarking this!

Thanks Sarthak!! There are many football-related places I skipped, but I am sure you would love it. Hope you get to go soon!

The street art is so good! And the context you share makes them all the more impressive.

The street art in Brazil is indeed stunning... it's everywhere and I love how it transforms the public places in the city. Each work has a story and a few hours were not enough to dig deeper, but I really wish I had!

So much to catch up on! But first

- Pics of non veg food are not match for the pic of fries, the one you clicked remember!

- I have missed so much but it is ironic that I read your post today when a Brazilian mate of mine has gone back to his country after he decided he has had enough of amreeka.

- how I love your pics Ila. What camera are you using? Are these processed? The one with a long shot and clouds just makes me want to eat fries. I swear.

Oh hello! Look who is here 👀 Warm fries with just the right amount of crisp and salt will always beat everything! I wish I could say the photos were taken using my DSLR that’s gathering dust somewhere at the back of my cupboard but unfortunately they’re just from an iphone, no filters or processing - all colours as visible to the naked eye :)
