Katie's Visit

Welcome back Katie! We loved having her come for the two weeks before school started. We were able to do many of her favorite things.... as well as new things we had never done before.

One new thing, was lunch at the Jockey Club. There weren't any horses there, or races being run. In fact, there wasn't anyone else there at all. We had a nice lunch, and a private tour of the place.

Katie's favorite lunch, however, is Pastels at Embu AND feeding the birds that want to share.
The weather was nice enough to allow a trip to the top of the BANESPA building. What a view....

I prefer the wilds of the Mata Atlantica Rain Forest, and seeing nature. Funny, to walk to this waterfall, we "hiked" between a shed and a water bottling plant. That's what we love about Brazil!!

My favorite picture spot in Embu.....

The best part of Katie's visit is playing together! We love roller skating at this park....
....and playing at the Science Museum. (ask Katie about the guide that helped us there........)
