On Thursday we celebrated Josiah's birthday. He found it a bit strange having a birthday here, but there are lots of good things such as 'doce-de-leite'. Also the Brazilians like to make great cakes for birthdays, big and gooey. We also went into the centre and had a good time, buying a few things with his birthday money, and rowing a boat at the park. It's been great that so many people have remembered his birthday. One of his highlights was being able to view a video on u-tube from Y-Friday wishing him a happy birthday.
