Game Day in Brasil

About a hour to Brasil's futbol match with Columbia and the anticipation is palatable in the air. Stores, super markets, schools and businesses shut down when Brasil plays (even the banks close) and people  gather in malls, bars or return home to watch with their families and typically have a BBQ.  It is practically an informal holiday. Some of the fireworks are going off already here in the pleasant beach city of Joao Pessoa. It is located in the most eastern side of Brasil and the whole continent. Dakar is on the other side if you were to sail across.

Off to watch the game, go Brasil go !!!!
