Curitiba, the clean up tour

 


We came back to Curitiba for two nights and a day. Just enough time for me to get a little work done and Carol to stock up on gluten free staples and snacks. Plus, we tackled our laundry. We are just as stoked about this capital city as we were a week ago when we were here last. It's got some big city vibe and some small city charm. Everything is available, it's easy to get around and we feel safe on the streets. This afternoon we left our apartment and passed through a two-block area with every type of hair store imaginable, wigs, mens, womens, ethnic, products, speciality, and lots of places buying hair. The city feels kind of random like that. With a little help from Google Maps, we found ourselves in the historic center of town, with nicely restored colonial buildings and pretty Christian churches built by enslaved Africans. Then went out to watch our first movie in Brazil. It was hard, it hurt Carol's poor eyes, and it was about the Brazilian military dictatorship which hit too close to home given the current political scene in the US. We Ubered back to the apartment to pack up and plan to hit the road first thing in the morning. Wish us luck.
