but alas, here are some updates on our dearest love seekers.
warning--- I'll indicate when I completely make up or fabricate things--- but some of this is a collection of text messages these fools have given me.
let's get jenn out of the way, since she gave basically zero updates about the days between traveling and games.
FACT: After the USA vs. Ghana game, the group stayed in Pipa and explored the beach. Went to the beach area called Dolphin bay and saw zero dolphins... the highlight of jenn's day was: "i bought touristy havianas flip flops". BREAKING NEWS: JENN BOUGHT FLIP FLOPS. i know you waited the entire weekend to hear about that.
side note: jenn did inform me that two of the guys she is with (friends of ours from DC) decided to go into town to sell Trent's old iPad and iphone... they never came back. errrr until jenn forgot to update me until the next day when she said they were held up by military police on their bus because someone was busted for carrying a lot of cocaine. a quick errand turned into a DAY OF HORROR (but they are safe and sound). but don't worry, jenn, ashley and ray just moved on with their lives while they were missing... went on a dune buggy ride, along the coast to a lake, ate some amazing seafood.
(also trent speaks Portuguese)
boring, right?
(might be) FICTION: Jenn fell in love with a man from Peru named Taco and they walked hand and hand through Pippa, the sister town to Pipa where he bought her another pair of havianas flip flops and rocked her world. he asked her if she would marry him, but it got lost in translation. jenn thought he said "will you be my green card signer?" and she grabbed her fuschia flip flops and ran for the hostel, just before the sun rose.
this is what you get if you google "man named taco".... i like to believe jenn has better standards than this.
now vanessa! our little fast talking Portuguese is all grown up and heading off to Brazil!... for the 3rd time.
vanessa was a pack rat and brought an entire hiker backpack and then an additional suitcase full of american treats and requests for her brazilian friends this is what i imagined she looked like:
this is how i prefer to travel. forcing someone twice my age to push it around for me. and of course i look glam.
she was boarded in the last zone to Charlotte and was forced to check her carry on... all the way to Sao Paulo. tear. her flight left at 5:45pm.
she jumped on her flight to Sao Paulo 72 minutes later. she had the entire row on her 11 hour flight! this is what i imagine her to have looked like:
except for the whole not being a man or asian. give me a break, use your imagination.
she spoke to NO men. instead she just watched some hot guys in Charlotte get on a plane to LA. i am sure it was life changing. she has so much catching up to do to jenn. the closest thing she got to some man action was watching a couple make out. she was descriptive enough to inform me that girl was on top of the guy while they kissed!
also, she ate mac and cheese and then a bar from Trader Joe's. i know you were upset you weren't gonna know what she ate. she then informed me her stomach hurt. i told her that she has appendicitis and should come home immediately, but she didn't obey.
vanessa is not giving me hot people to google... she is getting some weird images on her posts because of it.
| eating mac and cheese. |
she then went through customs and left the Sao Paulo airport (airport code is GRU like gru from Despicable Me)
she had to sprint out of the airport and drop her goodie bag for her mission friends at the lockers (that she will pick up on her way back to Sao Paulo). In case you're wondering, according to her itinerary the locker costs 9 BRL a day. gripping stuff.
She then flew to to Recife (pronounced He-ci-fe)
Below is from our friend Logan:
Luckily for Van and Jenn their next stop, Recife, was ranked as one of the best places for single people in Brazil. It has the highest number of singles who wanted to get married :)
Unfortunately most northeastern Brazilians look like this...
while waiting for Trent to pick her up in Recife, Vanessa went back to her high school glory days (let's pretend i know for a fact that she was a band geek or something). she joined in this fun and colorful band!
my World Cup crush from the Netherlands, Robin van Persie.
you're welcome.
xoxo,
