Hey I'm at South Beach in Miami Florida United States of America.
We are an American family of 7 living, working and loving Brazil. Welcome to theadventures of Our Brazilian Life.
Good morning. I am here at my Airbnb in Miami.
It's this really cute house and I love it because it has a bathtub. Like an actual
bathtub. I have not seen or been in a bathtub since I moved to Brazil. Out of
all the places we've stayed or been to, I have not seen a bathtub. So Brazilians I
want to show you what you will find in every American home and apartment in the
United States. It's a tub. So kids love taking baths and
so do adults. I'm one of them. I love a good hot bath. so I'm gonna show you, in
the bathroom, what a bathtub is check it out. Okay so this is a shower and a bathtub.
So you come, you can close the shower. You can take this off the
handle. Reach those hard-to-reach places. If you want to take a shower.
This is how you turn on the water. So turn this on. First you get the plug
and you stop the water so it won't drain. Then turn on the hot water.
Super stoked I've been taking baths almost every day because I miss it so much.
So don't mind me. I'm gonna go take a bath.
Okay so I went in bought Mr. Teal's epson salt and foam bath so I can get my
soak on. This is eucalyptus and spearmint so this is going to be a good
spa experience right now.
Okay I'm at Starbucks I got a hot chocolate and these amazing egg whites and a donut.
I came walking out of this store and I spotted my old car. I used to have a
gigantic awesome suburban just like this one. Black, it looks exactly the same.
I miss it.
I am on American soil for the first time in 14 months and it feels awesome. It's
been such a great trip. I've been shopping and eating Thai food and Taco
Bell and all the things I can't get in Brazil. I'm here without the kids and the
husband so I've been relaxing, getting my nails done, taking baths coming to the
beach. So it's been an awesome week. I stepped off the plane and people were
speaking English! They were speaking English and I loved it. I could
understand everything and it was great. I miss speaking English. I love learning
Portuguese and I'm slowly learning that too but there is nothing like being home!
South Beach has the cutest lifeguard towers check it out. How fun is that.
I'm getting ready to have lunch at one of my favorite spots. Taco Bell. So my favorite
things at Taco Bell are the Mexican pizza. On point, crispy, crunchy, delicious
and a chalupa. So I'm getting ready to eat. I'm super excited. My other favorite
things about Taco Bell is the hot sauce packages. Because they always have cute
little messages on them. This one says "I'm the hot one" and this one says
"Are you going to finish that?"I think it's funny. It's cute.
You don't need these jackets in Brazil at all.
I'm up in Costco. This used to be my favorite store.
I shopped here all the time for clothes and food. I'm super excited to be back. There's a
store that's similar to this in Brazil it's called Atacadão and they sell
bulk foods. Okay this is what I came here for.
I miss my North American cheese. Check this out.
We have Havarti. We've got provolone, feta. Oh, I've missed you so much.
And, extra sharp cheddar cheese. Oh yeah, oh yeah!
That's the other thing I miss; all the free samples. All the free samples at
Costco are awesome! Pretty much just come here for lunch.
You guys this is like home to me I'm like so nostalgic right now walking through
Costco looking at all the food we used to eat. Eggnog.
Alright, so I'm in Miami and of course I had to find a Brazilian restaurant to
see if they really know how to make Brazilian food and now I can be the
judge of that. So here we are, we're at a restaurant called Boteca Copacabana.
Boteca Copacabana.
Hello. Brazilian restaurant?
Do you speak Portuguese?
I'm checking out their menu and they have pão de queijo, coxinha de frango.
They have picanha. They also have grilled chicken, chicken stroganoff.
They have all kinds of good stuff and also I see that they have moqueca.
They have moqueca with shrimp. Around $31. I just got my food and it looks delicious. Let's see how it tastes.
That's great! That is really good. The shrimp was
delicious and look what I'm having for dessert. Brigadeiro. Let's see
if they know how to make it right it's very good and it tastes like
Brazilian brigadeiro.
I am in the airplane right now I'm flying with LATAM
all the way back to my home in Salvador Brazil. It was a great weekend in Miami
Florida. It was good to be back on US soil. I had a wonderful week. It was just
me, no kids, no husband and so I got to relax and chill and read books go to the
beach, take baths but then I also got Christmas shopping done.
I got a lot of things done as well and I love Miami. It was really cool, really
diverse and beautiful. It reminded me a little bit of Brazil with just all the
palm trees and the tropical weather.
I was super stoked to eat some of my
favorite foods that I haven't had in over a year, which of course would be
Taco Bell, Thai food and lots of cheese. So all the cheeses that I can't find in
Brazil, good cheddar, Havarti, Gouda so I had a great time back in my country and
I love it. I love the United States and I love Brazil and I feel really blessed
to get to experience both. I am headed home to Salvador. I'm on this awesome new
flight it's a direct flight from Salvador to Miami so I'm gonna fly
through the night and wake up in Salvador and that'll be perfect.
One quick question, if any of you know where to find any Thai food in Salvador
please let me know. Thai food or Indian food. I miss that so much so if you know
of any restaurants please let me know in the comments and love you guys. See you soon. Tchau.
