Here are some photo's I took on my recent Brazil trip.. I would like
to thank all the people I met on my trip as I was treated with royal
hospitality and friendliness everywhere, despite the fact I look
distinctly non-Brazilian! Brazil is a breathtaking country, and this
time I visited only São Paulo, and one of my favourite beaches in
the world, Ihlabela. The first thing you notice when you land in São Paulo
is the sheer immensity of this city of 19 million souls...
I have tried to roughly group these pix, but some may be a bit
out of order. I was lucky to travel very extensively throughout the
city, and also stayed in a suburb which gave me a real feel of the
lifestyle. A big Obrigado to the good folk of São Paulo and I hope you
all enjoy the pictures!! :cheers:
a beautiful old, but abandoned building downtown on Avenida Paulista:
an interesting area of arts and crafts vendors; Praca da Republica
one of the many thousands of street dogs who run wild but are very friendly
A late night stroll through Vale do Anhagabau lead us to the magnificent Opera House, built around 1903, with lovely Art Nouveau sculptures:
and jump on the subway (Metro) to Trinon stop to see the Museum of Modern
art:
and just some general city scenes of Sao Paolo, Guaruhlos, and other
neighbourhoods, starting with a loga de Ubanda (Voo Doo Shop)
and nothing is more fun than finding a group of people dancing capoeira:
Famous Brazilian churrascaria:
and everywhere, lovely cold beer, beer, beer... as cheap as 50 cents
Canadian currency. Drinks sold 24 hours per day, anywhere and everywhere
and it was quite a novelty for me to drink beer on a bus or in a taxi! LOL!
Then jump on a coach bus, on the road to Rio, for a few relaxing days at
the superb Ihlabela (beautiful island).... perfect weather and beaches:
an evening shot from our lovely colonial style guesthouse:
I hope you enjoyed this little tour, and I hope I did not post too many pictures
to create a slow download. If I did, just let me know. Saude! :cheers:
