Something that I really appreciate about Brazil is that some nice things that have passed away from day to day life in America survive here.
Take Avon. They still have Avon ladies here. One just arrived here at the house about an hour ago, mini magazine and beauty products in tow. She and Maria d'Egypto, the grandma in the family we are staying with, sat down together to have a cafezinho and check out some lipsticks.
They will spend the morning doing this, maybe a few hours, just sitting and shooting the breeze. Maria may buy something; maybe not. It does not matter. They are enjoying themselves. Slow Living -- these people know how to do it right:)
