Ah... Capirinhas- the perfect beach drink!

Hello Everyone,

 

I mentioned the Capirinha drink before.  I am also probably spelling it incorrectly, but some of that is due to the fact I have seen it spelled at least three different ways.  The Capirinha is a refreshing drink consisting of scoops of sugar (yes, I said scoops), crushed limes, and Charrassa (sp) a local Brazilian liquor (vodka can be used also). 

 

Capirinhas also mysteriously tend to taste much better when the sun is shining, and the sun has been shining in Floripa!!  The first couple of days were not very nice, but since then Praia Mole has basked in the sun.  Most of the time the rest of the island has remained pretty cloudy all day long, but the Bacchanalian Gods must be favoring the gays because the skies clear right above our beach!  It has been hot and sunny the last couple of days, and today looks like the best day yet!!

 

I have also met a very handsome Brazilian who flies for the Emirates Airlines of the UAE.  He has a French mom and a black father.  I will share more about the beach and the one party we have attended in another future post...

 

It is time for the beach!!!
