Day 62: Petropolis, Brazil

We are absolutely in love with this city! It´s so beautiful, it´s relaxed, it´s comfortable. It´s perfect! There are beautiful parks, cobbled streets, canals, mountains, typical conveniences, tons of fruit stores, and gorgeous buildings.

Checked out the Imperial Museum where all visitors are required to wear the big fuzzy slippers over their own shoes while walking (sliding, rather) through the musuem.

Our rockin`fuzzy slippers!

It´s $2 for students and $4 for non-students to get in. The route throughout is roped off so you must follow the intended order of things. There are tons of neat artifacts from the royal family like the king´s clothes and crown, tons of ladies´fans, lots of lovely oriental decorations like vases and boxes plus lots of beautiful furnishings.

It only took us about 20 minutes, partly because we don´t read Portuguese but more because it just doesn´t take long to walk through and have a look around. There is no photography allowed in the museum because camera flashes damage the old goods by high, exceedingly bright light exposure. So no photos of the inside. Another heart stopping supper at Toni´s where we are now greeted like old high school buddies by half of the staff. I think we may be eating there too much…
