I thought I had a lot of energy, but my friend Karine really threw me for a loop. I'm getting old! The girl sat on an overnight bus for a bajillion hours, got into town at 7am, and was rearin' to go!
We went right down to the beach, and she saw the ocean for the first time!
 |
| What a moment! |
Then we farmer's marketed it up, and made a chicken and vegetable lunch and fresh juice with our bounty.
 |
| that juice (or what's left of it) is fresh orange, mango, and lime. Yum. |
After that, we went into the city of São Vicente to go on their teleférico, which is like a ski lift on the beach that goes from the shore to a mountain top. We've driven by it quite a few times, but I've never been able to convince Alexandre to try it out with me. Of course, Karine loved the idea.
 |
| a little more precarious than you might imagine, but we escaped unscathed |
From the top of the mountain, at the end of the ski lift thing, you can see all of Santos:
All of that sitting in a chair made us hungry. So we went for some beach corn:
And then we went for some fresh, cold, açai:
After that, we went home to rest for a couple of hours before...well, before eating, of course. We went to sushi (another "of course"):
And then Karine finally started to get tired. I, of course, was pooped, at my new old age and all.
That was just day 1! More tomorrow!

 |
| this place gives you the option of adding things like Leite Ninho, honey, and maracujá mousse to your açai; you know, because it doesn't have enough calories on its own. |

Hahaha, your food pictures so look like something out of a travel or medical brochure.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having fun! I would be terrified to go on that lifty thing!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl!!! Remember to take her to Biquinha, if she drinks of that water, she'll be back all the time :)
ReplyDeleteI love your aerial pictures of the city.
ReplyDeleteI also have driven by the "Teleferico" many times but never went up...maybe when we get back to Brazil we will feel like tourists and will take the plunge... :)
It is so funny to see the corn in those little trays!!!
How lazy have we become!!
I know, I know, it is more convenient, no doubt about it.
But I remember when eating corn on the beach was sloppy and complicated, a real mess, butter and salt all over your hands, not anymore ;)
