Hanging out the laundry

I was driving home from Rogerio's house when I decided to turn down a street I normally never use. It was one of those inspiring moments a blogger lives for.

Last week I wrote about how most Brazilians won't use a dryer. In a city with hundreds of thousands of tourists, there isn't always a good place to hang your clothes so they improvise. Here is the jewel I found.

I don't know who these people are or where they got this flag from but I was so shocked I nearly ran off the road. At first I thought it was a beach towel but it was really a flag. I'd love to know the story behind this one.

I guess having your own TV show isn't enough...

We spent the day at the beach today. I'll post pictures and comments tomorrow. In the meantime, thought you might get a kick out of this. This week Germany announced the opening of the Sponge Bob Amusment Park. Not to be out done, right here in Balneário Camboriú we've got our own Sponge Bob's car wash. And Bob ain't cheap either. I'd let them was my car as long as they'd promise to sing the goofy goober song while they did it.


UPDATE: I was looking over the blog when I realized something. Right below the phone number is a sign that says "Attention" and then has a crossed "E". That means "no parking" (não estacione). Course there is a parked car right in front of it. Evidence of a common saying here: There are no laws in Brazil, only suggestions...
