That was 67 words to translate an intro into English properly! WASTED TIME! WOW!
Chapter I: Plain Plane
In late February, I went to Brasil to visit my family. This trip was about 17 days and went over spring break, only losing 4 days of school. Three of which had much homework.
I don’t remember fully what happened on the plane, but I remember a videogame from the ‘80s, me struggling to keep my eyes open, a bunch of food 5 hours after my regular dinner time, some more videogames, my head vibrating a lot as I drifted to sleep, and that’s about it…
I remember waking up to being at 7 AM, “3 more hours,” I’d groan. The plane was hard to sleep in, especially since we were mid-air with lots of sound. I was so sleepy, I managed to hit the sack, really hard. Like really hard. There was five hours of the flight just doing nothing. Just playing Tower Defense: The first TD game ever invented (literally) and groaning. And a bit of eating. I know this isn’t detailed, but there wasn’t much in this flight. Just your average ten hour flight and ten ways to think that airports are non-Euclidean structures.
Chapter II: Rampa’ Grampa’
Well, first, we arrived at the airport and did all the airport things, then we waited for my grandpa to arrive and pick us up… We waited and waited… We decided to call him, and apparently he went on the wrong side of the road, at which point we was escorted out by security and had to loop around the airport just to get back to where he started. What a very odd joyride.

Then, we entered the car carefully because my grandpa has a cat 🐈. She kind of looks like the emoji I just used. Her name is Bila and she is six years old and gets very carsick. My grandpa said she ran out of the car in the parking garage at his apartment building. (There are very few houses in Brasil, mainly buildings with hundreds of apartments.)
I used to live on the 21st floor of my building. The view was… big.
After we entered the car, we drove for thirty-ish minutes before stopping at a café where we bought a big brigadeiro with powdered sugar on it (delicious) and some pão de queijo (Direct translation: Bread of cheese, cheese bread), I ate a couple pão de queijos, and my delicious brigadeiro, then we bought Gatorade and left. My grandpa went to an ATM, while me and my mom waited in the car. We then began our three-hour voyage to the beach.
Chapter II: The car.
There’s nothing much… My grandpa doesn’t have Spotify on his car so he listens to Radio Garden. Only one good song played. It was classical.
At the end of the trip, we were in a mountain area, with tons of mist, with my ears still popping because of the plane, we went up and down left and right zig and zag, when we called my aunt and cousin, Titia (Auntie) Mone (short for Simone) and Max (nickname for Maxwell), they said they were at the beach, we expected them to be at the beach three hours after we arrived! We hurriedly finished the drive and got to the beach house, we were changing into our beach clothes when Max and my aunt arrived, soaking wet and shivering, and said, “it started raining.”
Chapter III: The rest (of the day)
I was disappointed, mad, I had put a Kabuki mask worth of sunscreen on. I joked that I wasn’t wearing a Kabuki mask, I was a Kabuki mask. But now, the clouds were condensing.
For the rest of the day, I watched TV in the beach house and drew stuff with Max and my grandpa while my mom and aunt were shopping.
You know how kids have phases, like a Minecraft phase, a Roblox phase, a OldRoot/Cicada 3301 phase, other internet mysteries phase (OldRoot hits HARD), a horror phase, a Cuphead phase, a Meme phase, a Cipher phase, a Neriotic Era MDN So, You’ve Landed In the Void AU phase, a blog phase, a run-on sentence phase, a GarageBand phase, or a phase phase?
Max just entered his new phase:
the 11th Century Viking War 3D Animation Phase. (With painfully boring commentary)
While he was drawing men scribbled with blood ketchup, I was making a cover for a new AU show that I had in mind:
Radar Battles
(A bunch of pirates, captains and sea creatures that battle each other but there are greater dangers)
Now, saying that in a blog for over 90 people to hear, it sounds a little more cringe than I had in mind.
Chapter IV: Day 2
I woke up to chaos and got ready to go to the beach
This was a while ago and I don’t remember the order of the events.
Ok, ready? Let’s go!
I’m pretty sure this is the day when my uncle and other cousin (Tio Gugu (Uncle Gugu (Henrique)) and Lucas (my cousin)) arrived, they met us as we were about to leave and then we took our surfboards and left swiftly. At the beach, we found a parasol and then asked a guy to set it up for us. After that we grabbed chairs and accommodated ourselves. Then, some people went to swim, as I (daredevil when it comes to water) walked with my uncle (daredevil when it comes to water) and went about 130 feet into the ocean, with a water depth of 5-ish feet, caught a wave, and flew away.
[1000 ex.cpt]
First tries were not very successful, although there were two times where I went straight to the shore (over 80 feet distance.)
Tell my teacher I’m surfin’. Surfin’ BRA.
The distance between the shore and the tent was about 40 feet, we looked like ants over in the distance. If an ant could catch a triple wave at 15 miles per hour.
After a bit, we came out and built a sand castle, at which point, we got a second parasol and some eyess kreem
I scream, you scream, we all scream,
t h e r e w a s n o i c e c r e a m .
Just kidding, there was I C E C R E A M .
I grabbed a brigadeiro-flavored Ice cream stick and ate it. Yummy.

And then, I went over, built the castle, chased some birds, and went into the sea, only to come out to eat lunch and then head back home. I also grabbed a second ice cream, which you’re not supposed to do?
Then we headed back to the apartment building which totally did not have a very lazy cat lying in the same position for 10 hours. I took a shower at the cleaning station and we hopped in the hot pool, we chased each other for a while.
Chapter V: Day 3 big tree
Day 3 was the same as day two but instead of ice cream, There is Açaí (which is objectively better in many ways)

And we went to another pool, a colder pool. We played a game of trying not to get caught by my uncle and then we did a bunch of stuff, in the end to arrive at my uncle’s apartment to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday, with two cakes, one which I could not eat because it had rum in it, and the other with suspiros (a hard version of cotton candy basically.) Before that, we played uno and then danced to a bunch of songs. Before that, we were back at the apartment while my mom and aunt were shopping, then tested our hearing with a pitch maker, here were the results:
Lucas – ~19kHz (age 6)
Max – ~18.7kHz (age 7)
Me and My uncle – ~18.5kHz (ages # and 43)
My grandpa – ~7kHz (age 77)
Bila (the cat) – ????? (Presumably around 40kHz, age 6)
Then, we were going to have a sleepover at my uncle’s (which Max backed out of) and then it was sleepy time. I woke up after a dream of everybody in Outback killing murder flies with blue. Just blue. And woke up to an obsession about tardigrades. []=. Then, we went to the mall and ate Japanese food and then my aunt, uncle, Lucas and Max left. It was just me, my mom and my grandpa.
Chapter VI: Monday Nonday
I woke up, ate breakfast, watched TV and then went to the beach, where we left because there was an unpleasant amount of foam in the water (toxic foam.)
Then we swam and swam in the pool and then returned home, watched TV, and went to the mall. After that, we returned home once more and then packed up our things, put the in the car, grabbed the cat 🐈, put her in the car and then drove off, to seek the adventures in
São Paulo, Brasil
Stay tuned for more
