Paralalapipido


Paralalapipido is the portuguese word for cobblestone. It is a long and difficult word to pronounce, but once I got it down, I felt like I was almost Brazilian because I could say that word. It is pronounced just how it is spelled (par-a-la-la-pi-pi-do), it is just long and is a sort of tounge twister.

Most of the streets in the smaller towns were made of paralalapipido and was difficult to walk on for long distances. It was also difficult to drive on for a long time because of the roughness and the ware on the car.
