An evening with Maria Rita



We joined Lu & Geert one night to see a samba concert of a popular Brazilian artist. The concert hall was located in the mall, which also included a grocery store, restaurants, armed guards and of course your typical mall shops.

The concert was great and really fun. The floor area was general admission, which meant you could dance. We had a fabulous time dancing in our own style, which I am sure included a mix of tango, merange, samba and two-stepping! Ha! Who knows what we looked like to other people, but we had a wonderful time experiencing our first samba concert! Obrigado to Lu and Geert for making that happen.

We ended the evening with dinner at a nice restaurant in the mall that used to be a dance club.
These malls don’t mess around. I have a feeling you could really accomplish a lot by spending a day at
“the mall” here. What and excellent date place. You could shop for a new outfit & shoes, get your nails done, have dinner and a movie/theater date, hit the club for some dancing and then buy your engagement ring on the way out…along with a bottle of chanpange to celebrate. it’s a one stop shopping kind of place. Ha!
