Brazil Part I: Eating and Drinking our Way Through São Paulo

While São Paulo was a beautiful city, there wasn't much to do to be honest ...except eat and drink your way through : )

Here are the attractions that we did see:

Mercado Municipal: This was a beautiful stain-glass-covered market that had a ton of fresh produce, meat, fish and cheese stands. It also had small "pop-up" style restaurants on a floor above that looked down to the hustle and bustle of the market below.

Skye Bar: An outdoor bar that's located at the top floor of a building shaped like a ship or watermelon, depending on how you see it. Yes, really. It's mid-level height but is the tallest thing around so you can get a great view of the skyscrapers that completely surround you. São Paulo is a massive city and this will give you a first hand exposure. Aaron and I took in the view just as the sun set while sipping Caipirinha's, Brazil's national cocktail.

Free walking tour: I found this on Trip Advisor. Although there wasn't much to "see" on the tour, walking around helped us get our bearings and the guide provided a few interesting facts. They call the city a concrete jungle and on this tour we saw why. There is beautiful greenery crawling up the sky scrapers and parks in the middle of the concrete. The city felt like a cross between Hawaii and New York.

Churrascaria: Every man's dream- an entire restaurant devoted to all-you-can-eat meat. The waiters walk around with these huge meat skewers and slice off a cut onto your plate. I had to go to this type of restaurant three times on my Brazil trip. (Side note: it's because the men on my work trip outnumbered the women).

Morumbi Soccer Stadium tour, MASP (Museum of Art), São Paulo Zoo, Ibirapuera Park: Since I was working, I didn't get a chance to visit these but Aaron did. Here's what Aaron has to say about them: "They're there."

And now do you see why I am the one writing this blog? ; )
