brazilian fluff

so, since little matteo is a brazilian citizen as well as american, he needs both passports, the brazilian to leave brazil and american to enter america. this morning, after fighting with the stroller to get on and off buses, searching for a caixa to pay the fee while trying to keep matteo happy, we finally arrived at the federal police station to register for his passport. Unfortunately, we got there too late.. apparently they only do ten people a day. sigh..."that sucks", I thought. "AAHHHH!!! %*!@!! A COUNTRY FILLED WITH IDIOTS!! AH! #*&@"!! Samuel shouted. so we sadly wandered into the center of Niteroi, a lovely the city across the bay from Rio. As I pushed Matteo along attempting to avoid potholes and listening to Samuel's lamenting, I spotted a guy selling some sort of white fluff from his cart... I wanted white fluff. I inturrupted samuel to asked what it was. cuscuz. tapioca balls covered in coconut shavings and drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. very nice. so that was the good part of the day. white fluff.
