Brazil celebrated the holiday Corpus Christi this Thursday - which celebrates the Body of Christ after the fifty days after Easter are over. Not typically 'celebrated' as a holiday in the States, however, the brazilians are well known for having many holidays to celebrate through the year! Most of the city shut down for the weekend and we were left to enjoy a more quiet city (since some of the population leaves to head elsewhere for the weekend!)
So, we biked to the Barigüi Park. It's about a 3 mile bike ride away from our place and is quite a large and beautiful area to run,bike, play sports, or stop and eat at the small eateries that are there too! I have to say though - my legs were super sore from Spinning class and aerobic dance class (aero local) that we took the day before and now from that CRAZY ROMPING bike ride! It sure isn't the easiest city to bike around! Tiff will post pics on her blog of us in the park :) SO check out her site soon for those... :)
On another note- we got to experience FIREWORKS right outside our place on this holiday! What a site and display - they sure do go big or home here!
