Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a Nose in Sobrado is no joke. Woke up this mornin’ feelin’ like a million bucks, but boy, did that change fast. First off, I hit the streets of Rua da Liberdade, and lemme tell ya, the smell of fresh pão quente was like a hug for my soul. I grabbed a couple, stuffed ‘em in my bag, and thought, “Today’s gonna be lit!”
But then, BAM! Outta nowhere, I bump into this dude, right? He’s all like, “Watch where you’re goin’, man!” I’m like, “Dude, chill! It’s just a little bump!” But he’s all riled up. I mean, c’mon, it’s Sobrado! We’re supposed to be chillin’ by the river, not throwin’ fists over a shoulder bump.
So I keep walkin’ down Rua da Estação, tryin’ to shake off the bad vibes. I’m thinkin’ about how I love this city. The cobblestones, the old buildings, the vibe. But then I smell it. Oh man, the smell of grilled sardines from a nearby taverna. I can’t resist! I swing by, grab a plate, and it’s like a flavor explosion in my mouth. Happiness level: 1000!
But then, just as I’m savoring that moment, I see a kid kickin’ a ball. And guess what? The ball comes flyin’ at me! I duck just in time, but it hits this old lady. She’s not happy, man. She starts yellin’ in Portuguese, and I’m just standin’ there, like, “What did I do?!” I mean, I didn’t kick the ball!
After that chaos, I decide to stroll by the river. The view from the Ponte de Sobrado is always a vibe. The water sparkles, the sun’s shinin’, and I’m feelin’ good again. But then, I see this guy tryin’ to fish. He’s got a whole setup, right? But he’s just sittin’ there, lookin’ bored outta his mind. I’m like, “Dude, you know it’s not a Netflix show, right?”
Then, outta nowhere, I hear this loud crash. I turn around, and it’s a delivery truck that just backed into a lamppost. I can’t help but laugh. The driver’s face is priceless! He’s all flustered, tryin’ to fix it. I mean, come on, it’s Sobrado! You gotta be more careful!
As the day goes on, I hit up the Mercado Municipal. It’s packed, and the smells are insane. I’m talkin’ spices, fruits, and all kinds of goodies. I grab some chouriço, and this lady behind the counter is super friendly. She’s like, “You gotta try this!” And I’m like, “Lady, I’m already sold!”
But then, I see my ex. Ugh, the drama! She’s with some dude, and they’re all lovey-dovey. I’m tryin’ to act cool, but inside, I’m like, “Why’d I even come here?” I mean, Sobrado’s supposed to be my happy place!
Finally, I head back home, exhausted but full of stories. I plop down on my couch, thinkin’ about the day. It was wild, emotional, and totally unexpected. Sobrado, you crazy city, you never fail to surprise me! I love ya, but man, you gotta chill sometimes!
