Our first cinema visit in months

Sunday was an easier day after our antics at the carnival!  We had a leisurely breakfast, and then I ventured down the hill to buy more bottled water.  I think this may be a daily mission while we're staying here!  I spent most of the day finally catching up with my posts and Penguins entries.  Mark cooked a pork in tomato sauce dish, which we had with pasta for dinner, and there was enough left for the next day, too.

Yesterday, I spent several hours reminding myself how to create digital products, the idea being that this is what I will be concentrating on for the rest of our time in Brazil, the aim being to generate enough income for either of us not to have to get a job as soon as we return to the UK.  I'll do my best!

I worked for a few hours this morning before we walked to the local cinema to see 'A Complete Unknown', the new Bob Dylan biopic.  It received 5 nominations at this week's Oscars ceremony, but it didn't win any.  We both thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the soundtrack, which featured the music of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, and the incomparable Joan Baez, as well as Bob Dylan himself.  It was our first cinema visit in the whole South America trip - very unusual for us!
