I am in love with the food here. We were all hanging out on the beach today and decided that we wanted to make dinner tonight for ourselves. One of the volunteers has an empty house for a night, so we decided to make a dinner. We all went to the market and found some food to cook. I decided to cook the dessert considering that is my expertise. It was only the guys and myself that decided to do this and I felt like one of the guys. It was our own little family dinner and we all enjoyed it. One of the volunteers did the cooking for the main dish, which was meditteranean food full of fresh ingredients and no added spices. It was yummy as well as healthy. The brigadeiro was not healthy, but oh so yummy! The more I get to know them, the closer I get to them. A couple of them are leaving within the next week, and every time someone leaves it reminds me how close my time will come. I don't like when someone leaves because we have become such good friends that it sucks to say goodbye every time. Until then, it was a great dinner.
I have thursday and friday off from work because it is a public holiday here in Brazil, called Corpus Christi.

The link above explains the holiday with more detail. It felt like any other day, but it is still interesting to learn about.
You will need to make some of that great food you keep talking about! What fun! It's so nice that you have such good friends. Enjoy your two days off; it should be fun!
