Today I have no real plan but as Lilian and Leo's cleaning lady came early today I found myself up bright and early. In the morning I went to the farmers market in the next neighborhood over and picked up a few things for dinner. My body is pretty soar today after a full-on week of hikes, rides and little to no sleep so a good reason not to do anything too strenuous. After lunch I went down to Flamengo beach to get some sunshine and lay on the beach - unfortunately the sun goes down very early here (5-5:30pm) so arriving at the beach I found the sun had almost already disappeared behind all the skyscrapers that line the coast. A quick stop at the markets to buy a few last bits and pieces and then I headed back to the apartment where Lilian was also just arriving. This was mine and Lilians last-night together as tomorrow she was heading to Curitiba for the week to sit some exams and meet a friend. I went all out with the cooking tonight and made a mango, avocado and cranberry salad alongside honey/soy chicken breast, roasted pumpkin and for the first time I made the Arabic dish bubbaganoosh - roasted egg plant dip. Everything turned out well and I thanked Lilian for her wonderful hospitality and helping me out so much through the week.
