Feliz Pascoa / Happy Easter

As it turns out, Brazilians celebrate Easter, too, and on the same day. There are a few differences here, though, than the states. (No Cadbury mini eggs or Starbust jelly beans. Just sayin'.) Rather than fill baskets with treats, parents here give children large (practically head-sized) hollow chocolate eggs. There are public events, like parties in the mall, but no egg hunts in the park. And most exciting for Eri, the Easter Bunny / Coelhino da Pascoa visited her school's Easter party last week.

Puppet show, that was presumably Easter themed. (The
plot was difficult for me to follow.)

trying to get the plastic wrap off a chocolate bunny.)
