Do come, Raulito! It's a wet celebration, though... It's been raining.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Mauro, Happy-B-day to the place you call home.! I can see why you love it so much. So many influences, so many cultures. Living there must be a feast for the soul, if you choose it to be. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is, Kyle. My soul? It rejoices in the fact that Porto Alegre IS (Its) home. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your hometown history and birthday celebration. What a rich and diverse place to be. Looks wonderful and exciting. I'm glad that you can celebrate and that you really enjoy where you are.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Thank you, Stan. Most of the celebrations are outdoor activities. And they have been rained on, unluckily.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
