So today i went to the Gay parade in Salvador, it was an adventure. (By the way gay marriage is legal here in Brazil) I have never seen so many people dressed up so much that you cant tell who are girls or guys anymore. Anyways it is huge, and still going on at the moment, i just returned back home because it started to rain and i had already walked through it for about 2 hours. I guy walked up to leo and i and preceded to tell leo that he loved him and grab his hand to start dancing... and although he was up to see what the parade was about (because when else are you going to get the chance to go to a gay parade in Brazil?)he thought that it was time for him to leave. So we met up with more people from the group and a couple of girls and i wondered through again, and surprising for a GAY parade a lot of guys wanted to touch our hair and grab our hands. Maybe i will never fully understand Brazil, but i know that totally naked girls dancing on trucks, guys showing everything to the cameras wouldn't exactly be OK in the United States, or at least to the extent of my knowledge.
This weekend was the first full weekend in Salvador, because i went to the island last weekend. I think i might have to slow the night life down because i have gone out 3 nights in a row and my ears are ringing from the music still. I am not really that tired, which is surprising because i feel like the day and nights never end here and you only sleep when you are tired because there is no set time to sleep like my schedule in the US. However besides Brazil being a never ending party, i am losing weight, i am not really sure how this is happening but it is. I eat everyday 3 full meals and don't really exercise and my clothes are getting loose, and i know that it is not the whole absence of a dryer ordeal because when i was in Argentina... it made them tighter and stiffer. But whatever... maybe its the dancing and walking that i do everyday, who knows...
But i got a surprise today, i have been bugging my host brother Paulo, about a dog because i love dogs and he has one at grandmas house but it lives there... but today shaky is here! That's the doggy's name, he is a poodle around 10 years old but he is cute and just lays with me everywhere, i even held him while i was washing dishes, he is around 5 lbs! well i have a test tomorrow in Portuguese class and i think i am going to just think in Spanish and just change it into Portuguese slowly... that way i know i will get at least the grammar and sentence structure correct.
