Calm before the storm…

We were excited about going to a “Samba School” opening night. To even things out, decided to keep the afternoon low key. Uma wanted to try brunch at “Pain et Chocolat” 1, a popular bakery in the Moema neighborhood. It had a pretty large display of sweets, pastries, etc. that got her all excited. To […]

Brazilian Pizza

I’ve heard legendary tales regarding Brazilian Pizza. Based on my first experience, I have to say they are all true!
