Oh SNAP, it’s already his birthday! Not really actually, but Giuliano celebrated a week before so that Han can celebrate with us before she leaves to Vietnam for the summer.

We went to the fancy Heritage Hills Resort and spent time in the Restaurant downstairs with 90% Brazilians. After dinner, we had smooth Brigadeiro desserts & cake and fooled around a bit.

 

Matthew and I went to the Shewsbury Farmer’s Market recently and discovered some nice Amish shops and places! (Not hard if you stop at every single item). And of course, we bought Pretzels. Soft and hard ones. And bread. And orange juice. And (…) But not the colorful sprinkles, no. Amish sounds really funny to me, knowing English and German. It sounds like taking a German word, mix with 20% of English and pronounce it with a half Colonian, half Dutch accent and verniedliche everything in the end:

Guder Daag – Guten Tag – Hello

Guti Nacht – Gute Nacht – Good night

Sehn dich schpeeder – Bis spaeter – See you later

Ich bin arrig schlecht – Mir geht es sehr (arg) schlecht – I am doing bad

Sis kiehl – Es ist kalt (kuehl) – It’s cold

And, my favorite:

Die Sarah iss die Glapperbax am schpiele – (Die) Sarah spielt Klavier – Sarah plays piano
