Share Your World – July 24, 2017

List some of your favorites types of teas.  I’m not much of a tea drinker. I am a Brazilian living in the USA so that means coffee all the way! But I do like some teas and occasionally I feel like having a nice cup of tea. Especially if I am sick or in London, one of my favorite cities in the world. I enjoy herbal teas like Camomile, Peppermint, and Raspberry Leaves. But when in London, my favorite tea is High Tea!! 🙂 And with that, I usually have Black Tea with milk, just like the Queen has hers, I suppose…

If you had to describe your day as a traffic sign, what would it be? If we’re talking about today, it would have to be SLOW because it’s been a very slow and uneventful day.

What are a couple of things people could do for you on a really bad day that would really help you? Probably respect my feelings and move on. But depending on what’s making my day bad, just listening to me vent would be very helpful, or giving me a nice hug and introducing some humor into the conversation.

Regardless of your physical fitness, coordination or agility: If you could be an athlete what would you do? Remember this is SYW, dreaming is always allowed. I would be either a Tennis pro, or a professional Volleyball player. I played both sports through my 30s, but never seriously. Tennis was a problem because I get easily distracted and any noise, movement, airplanes or butterflies flying by could break my concentration. Needless to say, I lost a lot! I was pretty good in Volleyball but at only 5’4”, I was an eternal setter. That’s an important position because you set the ball for the attackers so you are the equivalent of a quarterback in American football (minus the prestige). However, anyone who plays volleyball knows that the hitters and spikers have all the fun. They make most of the points! So, in my dreams I’d be a Wing Spiker for the Brazilian National Volleyball Team. 🙂

Optional Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? I can’t remember last week, so I’m pretty sure I have nothing special to be grateful for, except being alive and well. This week will probably be just as uneventful. And that is fine.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual

One of the most unusual things I’ve seen in my life was this tree, whose fruits (or something rambling fruits) hung from the trunk! Not a very pretty sight… And I couldn’t find out anything about it. (Photo taken in Santa Barbara, CA)

The very unusual (at least to me) Pink Melaleucas, or Western Tea Myrtles, natives of Australia, whose trunks spread on the ground. Unlike the tree above, these are very beautiful. (Photo taken at Palisades Park, Santa Monica, CA)

And the quite unusual “Eisbach,” a small channel of the Isar River that runs through Munich’s central park. People line up to surf the continuous, ice-cold wave that rolls through the channel all day long. Unusual to me who come from a culture of sea surfing. (Photo taken in Munich, Bavaria, Germany)
