maracanã stadium

the gargantuan 1950 world cup stadium in which king pelé (or edson arantes do nascimento, as may be seen above... those aren't his feet, you nincompoops, those belong to my hubbykins who doesn't usually take pictures of his clodders but was stricken by the dashing resemblance) scored his 1000th goal. GOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!! there's no A in portuguese.

the middle pic is with my lovely sis in law.

resolutions:

new years we spent on the mind-boggingly famous beaches Copacabana and Ipanema. have never or maybe faintly heard of them? gigantically uncouth of you.
the names mean something deep in native indian tongues. cherished company seen above: my auzzie, her lover, two kids from são paulo (dressed in white).

this is our balcony

and this is lovely denis thickly applying woodstain to the supports of our soontobe book shelves.
