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!

December Round-Up

Summer is in full swing here and that means that Kylie and I are getting out of the house as much as possible to beat the heat! Here's what we've been up to:

 Oh, Autumn went to Rio de Janeiro for a 3 day business trip and took one picture...
...of her room service sushi for one.

 Snowball Cupcakes!
(for the office)

 ...and for us.

 Yes darling, can you point me to the fine jewelry department?

 Ready to romp!

 There's holes to be dug...
...and I'm just the lady to dig 'em.

 Oh hi dad! You thought you could look at Facebook on your phone for 30 seconds? I only needed 5 to learn how to climb up here and stand!

 Where's Kylie?

 There she is!

Our budding artist!

 I love that the package says that these are "artisanal" American waffles!
By the way, aren't these Belgian waffles? 

And yes, that is an ice cream sundae served on top, 
just the way that we eat waffles in America every morning for breakfast!

 Ok, I might need a reality check, because I'm starting to think that 
this looks like a totally legit Lebanese restaurant! Thoughts?

This classy boutique is called "d'fuck", as in "What d'fuck?"
Although with local pronunciation, I think that phonetically, it would be dee-foo-kee
I'm entering this in the t-shirt contest!

 Aaaahhh!

 Time for a coconut break!

Later!
