Churrasco (BBQ) near Goiania

Meal for the meat lovers.
Huge range of meats are cooked over coals

As the meat is cooked it is taken around the tables and carved straight on to the plate.

Lamb, chicken, chicken hearts, sausages, and a huge range of beef cuts as well as plenty of unidentified objects slowly cook and smoke over the coals.

It's an all you can eat occasion and the waiters are not shy about keeping the meat up to the table.

Indian Zebu

Sixteen month old Indian Zebu bulls which are to be sold as breeding sires

When the ears flap run...
Yes he did happen to have a short fuse.

That hump keeps turning up on the menu.
Not my choice of cuts, pale, tough & quite flavour less.

Not much hind quarter there.

Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo-Third largest city in the world
One of the most redeeming features of this huge city is the street art this is a small section of a huge graffiti mural.

Cashews in the market
Cashew juice is on the breakfast menu, very sweet.

Few reminders of the Portuguese colonial period remain
The majority of the cities development occurred post the 1920's

Typical Sao Paulo skyline, a concrete jungle
Looking forward to getting into the countryside
