I went to another churrasco last night… this one celebrating the birthday of my first Brazilian friend, Raquel. It’s amazing to sit back and think about the influences in your life, and unconcciously both Raquel and I have had a great affect on each other.
I met Raquel three years ago during my first trip to […]
