On Sunday, Erick Passos took us to an AMAZING seafood restaurant called Berbigao located on a beach were mostly fisherman reside. The line was rather long and had to wait almost 30min-45min just to get a table. Our entire menu consisted of shrimp, we had fried shrimp w/ rice, shrimp bobo and shrimp w/ mash potatoes, apple and white sauce. It's probably the best food I've had since I arrived.

After Berbigao, Erick took us to the Parque da Cidad (City Park), it's a park located high in the mountains were most people go to hang glide. The view was breathtaking as you saw all of Niteroi from that location. A lot of the residents of Niteroi go there on the weekends with friends and family.

The following morning we finally were able to get back to work, with the lack of Internet at the apartment and the holiday weekend, we were not able to get our work done. We all arrived early to UFF and went straight to work, I Skyped Chad, my project manager and told him that we now have Internet and that I began working on the group project. This is what I mostly did for the whole week, since last week nothing was accomplished, I was behind on my project. Also, for the past few days, the group have been going to a great Burger shop right by our house, called "Smell of the Ocean", they have some of the best burgers I've ever had, they consisted of beef, ham, pinapple, lettuce and tomato, and egg. Erick told me that all burgers in Rio consist of egg, so it is normal in the Brazilian culture to have egg in your burger.

P.S. We FINALLY got our Internet yesterday.
