Flags

Never in my life have I seen so much of Brazil on the streets here (yes I know I've already written a post on it), but I have been in complete awe these past days with the spirit of ALL walks of life, not just those wealthy enough to buy the STUFF.
The favelas (slums) here are showing more spirit than most of the wealthier neighborhoods. Our little street has two mangy flags hanging from what look like washing lines. But the favelas; they are something else. Spirit, flags, fireworks, and pure energy over their national team making them proud to be Brazilian.
