Now that I have rested up a bit, and since I am about halfway through this trip, I wanted to post a list of superlatives: the best and the worst, so far. In no particular order, here they are.
Best pousada/hotel breakfast: San Juan Charm in Curitiba
Best beach: Ilha do Mel
Worst beach: Superagui (the dog poop didn't help)
Best limonada: some hole-in-the-wall place across from Praca de Republica in Sao Paulo
Best shopping mall food court (ugh, I can't believe I am even acknowledging this!): Dom Pedro Shopping in Campinas
Worst pizza: some hole-in-the-wall place in Santarem (the food poisoning was a factor)
Best airport: Belem (which was helpful because we had to spend 9 hours in it between flights)
Smallest airport: Santarem (which reminded me of places my dad used to fly the family into when I was a kid)
Best home cooked food away from Jocelyn's house: Carlos and Cesar's house in Monte Alegre
Most embarrassing moment: standing in the line for pregnant women while at the store in Campinas (caixa preferencial)
Most amazing thunder and lightening storm: last night while exercising in the hotel's rooftop gym
Worst laundry experience: when we paid the equivalent of about $90 US to a hotel worker in Belo Horizonte when we could have done it ourselves for less than $20 US
Best 4-wheel drive experience: in Carlos' truck on the way to the caves
Wildest boat ride: from Paranagua to Ilha do Mel (turning around in the storm to pick up the stray life vest didn't help)
Longest boat ride: swaying with strangers between Manaus and Santarem
