Our friends from the university recently threw us a surprise baby shower for our soon-to-be Brazilian-American. Here, it's called a "cha de bebe," or "baby tea" -- tea isn't usually served, but there were lots of delicious treats. It was a co-ed event (though all the guys stayed on one side of the room while I opened gifts), as Geoff and I know pretty much all the same people from school. Not only was it incredibly thoughtful and very sweet, many of the gifts have portuguese writing on them -- we'll keep them always!
Can you email me your address? The Brazilian phone book is very unhelpful even with the google translation from the Portuguese.
