Birthday Trip! Sao Paulo

For Autumn's birthday, we left Kylie behind with friends and jetted off to Sao Paulo for an adults only weekend adventure of shopping and eating!

 First stop: Micheladas at Oba - A Thai / Mexican / Brazilian restaurant!

 Chips and salsa! How I've missed you!!

 Next stop:  O'Malley's Irish Pub for Guiness!!

 Third stop:  Farto!
Just kidding, but I guess Drogaria Farto must be expanding!

 Another hilarious store! 
It was so nice to stroll around Jardims in the cool spring weather and shop!

 All hail the king!

We had a fantastic sushi dinner at Nagayama, followed by drinks at the rooftop bar, The View! 
Happy Birthday Autumn!!

 The next morning, we got all bundled up to brave the "freezing cold" (60 degree) weather, and headed out to Starbucks for breakfast on our way to Liberdade for another day of eating and shopping!

 Should I walk or not!?!

 Spring roll delight at the street market

 Can't go anywhere in Brazil without getting meat on a stick!

 We spent the rest of the morning browsing through all the great stores and stocking up on Japanese kitchen ware, including Autumn's crowning glory - the 4 tier dumpling steamer!!

Goodbye Liberdade!

We spent the afternoon back in Jardims for one more visit to O'Malley's and a bit more wandering and shopping.

 The birthday girl!

 One last look at the city

We had a freak accident with our in-room safe, and maintenance had to come up and drill the door open, so we could get our stuff!! Luckily, they got it open in time for our super-fancy Italian dinner at Fasano.

Our loot!

São Paulo - 4

Autumn only had a half day of training today, so we got to hang out in the afternoon! We had "lunch" at a Japanese restaurant that was so terrible we had to leave. We made our last obligatory visit to Starbucks, visited Parque Ten Siquiera Campos and had a great last dinner at Arabia!

 
Kylie all wrapped up after a dip in the pool!
 
 Goodbye old friend! 
We'll miss you!

 Just me and my wife, Altom!

 Hibiscus

 Ack! This food is terrible!

 Cheese!

So cute!

São Paulo - 1

We finally took our first real trip in Brazil this weekend! Autumn had to go to São Paulo for training, so we took advantage and came down for the whole weekend beforehand. It was a great learning experience for traveling with the baby, and we had a great time! We flew in Friday night, checked into the hotel late and went to bed.

Saturday morning, we got up early and headed straight to Starbucks (which they do not have in Recife....que horror!). Coffee in hand, we went for a walk through Jardins from Avenida Paulista to Rua Oscar Freire (the SP equivalent of 5th Ave in NYC). After our walk, one of our old friends from Portuguese class picked us up for a driving tour of the city, followed by lunch at Hecho en Mexico, some shopping and dinner at Pizza na Mão. Thanks Ezio!

Good morning São Paulo!

 Look at all that city!

 My cute ladies!

Me likey!

 Oh delicious coffee, how we've missed you!
Hello, my name is Alton!

 Looks like we got some knitting vandals on the loose!

 The famous Avenida Paulista

 That's some hardcore instant sleeping!

 I love São Paulo too!

 Of course, we found designer cupcakes right away! YUM!

 Ooh! Que fancy!

What! Wait a minute....where are we?

 Orchids grafted onto a tree!

 Jungle-y city view!

 Alo! Quem fala?

 Almost a group photo!

 It was almost real Mexican food! 

 The Havaianas flagship store!

Where to next?
