My entire family lives there Jen, I am the only one here which at times can be very difficult but I have wonderful friends and my husband is my rock :) I have a little nephew/godchild now (in Brazil) so I have to start going more often. I just lost my mother-in-law last week so it makes you think about how short life truly is so I better get home to see them more often than every few years. You should come to Brazil, you have a place to stay :)
Big hug Jen and thank you for your kind words.
Julie.

Keep faith and if you want to talk, i'll be there for you!! Big hug and kiss, Jenxx

Ah, cashew fruit. They are called Caju in Portuguese.
My mom has a tree in our beach house in Brazil, here's a picture of it. I took that in '05 when I visited last.
I love the red on this shot, this one was ready to be picked up. You're right about the actual cashew, I used to love roasting them. The fruit is actually good but don't let the juice of it hit your clothe, it will stain forever :)
Big hug my dear.
Julie.

Wat was jou vroeg op mien jong:) Nou, de vogelspin, werd mij toch sterk afgeraden dichtbij te komen, waren beslist nait ongevaarlijk, net als de piranha's trouwens....die visten ze eruit terwijl ik daar zwom...brrr Ook daarvan pics, wordt tijd dat jij de dia's uit de kast trekt, wil ook jouw uitspattingen zain:)) Ga donderdag een paar dagen naar Ierland, kijken of ik de wildcoast aan kan, zal niet gaan cliffhangen deze keer...denk ik;)) Dank Harry, jij ook!
