Valentine's Day (Dia dos Namorados) in Brazil is apparently June 12. I had no idea and if Eri knew, she didn't mention it. Geoff, being practically Brazilian now, knew and took his girls out for dinner with a view and chocolate fondue dessert -- a first for Eri, who loved every second of it.
The day is obviously marketed way less here than in the states. No valentine exchange at preschool, no candy hearts with little messages in portuguese, no red roses. I asked why this American-born, Hallmark holiday is in June here rather than February. I was told if it was celebrated in February, it would compete with Carnival. So, I guess the commercialism isn't completely lost.
O que você estava fazendo quando eu dei a aula do dia dos namorados? (MS 2 página 18) Dormindo, né!!
