So the mantra goes. Many travel for sights, others to hear new sounds, some to taste new, authentic foods.
For us, increasingly we moved from sightseers to food tasters. Not that we don't enjoy the sights anymore; we do, tremendously. The sights remain the intended destinations but we take the moment to make the journey there memorable too, by stopping off to enjoy their foods and just as importantly, plenty of time to banter with each other. Both kids, but J especially, are at their happiest when their bellies are full and warm.
We landed in São Paulo just before rush hour and it took us nearly 90minutes to get to our hotel. We headed out shortly after for a meal of meats: Brazil is famous for it's barbecued meats served right from the skewers, churrascaria, and that was exactly what we had at the Fogo de Chao: from beef to lamb to pork to poultry, capped off with a nice welcome drink of caipirinha, their national cocktail. We truly filled our bellies, very much with our kids in mind.
