Saturday morning started off pretty lazy. We went to the neighborhood cafe for breakfast eats and coffee, before we headed out for some shopping.
Interesting thing here....a cappuccino is not what you'd expect. It is a wonderful espressso with steamed milk but with the bottom of the cup filled with chocolate, which you then have to stir into you drink. It is delicious!
After breakfast we went to the market that we had gone to earlier when we had first arrived. We went in and out of shops for a while just looking for things to bring home with us. Oddly enough there were tons of jewelry stores and Halloween shops. This was my favorite of the Halloween decorations that was on display...totally disgusting...it is a head hanging by a hook over a bucket where the blood flows down like a fountain. Something to freak the kids out I guess...yikes!
That evening went out for an amazing birthday celebration. We went to dinner at Terraço Itália, an Italian restaurant that it on the top floors of the what was once the tallest building in Sao Paulo. I don't have pictures to show of the view, but it was amazing to sit right next to the window an look out over the city at night. Click on this link to get a feel of the place: http://www.terracoitalia.com.br/index.asp. It was like stepping back in time with the old fashioned chandeliers and the pianists playing Nate King Cole and Frank Sinatra songs in each room.
Then we went with our friends to a night club called Boogie! Flash back to the the 1970's, 80's and some of the 90's on the disco on the dance floor. It was so much fun. I knew when we arrived and they were playing Depeche Mode that this was going to be a fun night. http://www.boogie.com.br/ And KB, you would be proud. I sang Bon Jovi's "Livin on a Prayer" at the top of my lungs when the DJ played it. :)
Sunday we went to a soccer game. Palmeiras v Cruziero.
What a great weekend! :) And the birthday adventures continue.....tee hee!
