Day 10: Curitiba






On Thursday, we ran errands in the morning to pick up clothes and buy tickets for our train ride on Saturday. 

In the afternoon, we went to a ranch that Marli’s parents live on.  Paul and I immediately mentioned to eachother that the ranch reminded us of grandpa because of the beautiful garden.  They grow a wide variety of vegetables.  They have cows (two of which are baby twins) and chickens.  We toured the ranch.  The house is higher than the rest of the land.  From the house, it is trees as far as you can see.  We took lots of pictures.  We picked pinhao and roasted them.  We drank chimarrao, which is a tea that traditionally is passed around in the same cup.  The herbs are packed down into the cup and you drink through a straw that has a filter at the bottom.  Even Paul liked it!

This was another very late night, but very much enjoyed.
