The week looked like this:
| Monday | 5.0 |
| Tuesday | 5.0 |
| Wednesday | 3.4 |
| Thursday | 12.0 |
| Friday | 5.4 |
| Saturday | 8.8 |
| Sunday | 13.0 |
| Total | 52.6 /86km |
I will probably come in just under 50 for this week as I have the race on Saturday, but I will look to extend Sunday's long run. Also, since it is Monday night as I write this, the June streak is in-tact with an easy 5k tonight.
Sunday Brunch: One of Mrs. Lank's friends and her 2-year-old daughter that came for Saturday's dinner party stayed the night, so we opted to drive down to one of the "Fazendas" that are huge restaurants with some version of a working/petting zoo/farm attached.
As posted in L&O, they had a massive bull available for your kids to take a lap around the parking lot in, along with horses, ponies, ostriches (well you couldn't ride them), then all sorts of small critters for petting.
The thought did strike me that this was probably one of the only large-scale restaurants in Brazil where a cow of this size could make it through Sunday brunch without being quartered, cleaned and grilled. His salvation, is due wholly to the sacrifice of a large number of pigs:
The hot buffet was heated by a proper fire and hot fireplace bricks, when filling your plate one has to be careful not to run into one of the staff adding of the telephone pole sized logs to the fire.
Okay, go ahead and guess, how many kinds of pork are pictured?
Let me be clear, I have no idea and I was there for hours, maybe the close-up will help (yes, the lasanga had ham).
This bad-boy was the piece-de-resistance. Whole pig, cleaned, stuffed with a cornbread stuffing and baked. Apparently when the meat is tender and cooked, they pour a hug bucket of boiling hot oil on the skin to get the good pork-cracklings/rinds just right. I have to say it was a bit over the top on the heart-disease-for-no-good-reason scale.
