So Gurgel woke up in time(5 hours later) and we decided to get some churrasco to celebrate us finishing the half-marathon. We went to a place called Blue star churrasqueria I think :/ either way the food was good thats all that matters. Luckily, this is also close to Maracana Stadium so we went to go see the soccer game. Maracana stadium was built from 1948-50 (yes in only two years!) and still remains the largest stadium in the world. It was built for the 1950 world cup and on the final match against Uruguay brazil lost 2-1 rofl rofl rofl its one of there biggest shames but the irony I think is quite funny.

Just arrived to Natal boy is gorgeous the sun is out, the water is blue(and warm so I hear) and the sand is white. Well what am I doing here in Natal, you say! Two things one is I am going to visit the Agencia Espacial Brasileira to see what's going on hands on(this is also the launch site of the rocket I have been working on. more on that later) and two while I am here I may as well enjoy the beach :)

The pousada I am staying at is really great I have a hammack, veranda, two beds(don't know why I need two) and all the regular stuff. I caught them at a discount as well. Normally when you are block from the beach it costs R$120+ but I got a deal for R$77 . Gurgel recommended them to me so everything worked out quite well.

I'll update more as what I'll do here but first I must swim!
