Okay...this isn't your typical post on Brazil. But there seems to be nothing normal about this fellow, Dr. Mike. As a girl who wouldn't be caught dead eating egg salad (eww!), it baffles me that a man would spend his days eating (or at least greeting) things the rest of us strive to avoid.

And yet, here we are. Tonight the Travel Channel will air an episode of this culinary Braveheart deep in the forests of Brazil meeting all things disgusting and vile. Honestly, a getting a Brazilian might just be more fun than encountering the nasty things this guy is sure to uncover in this episode alone. It certainly yeilds more...um....attractive results.

Meanwhile, I'm working on a post that will actually be a treat for your senses and will extol the many adventurous virtues of the land that is Brazil (see the tie in, now?). Now, there's something to wax on about.

Until then, indulge in my behind-the-scenes look at Little Passports on Sippy Cup. This month they take us on a virtual tour of amethyst mines, Carnival and other exciting (and might I add insect free) adventures in this South American country.
