Food for Thought
“The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin.

Health Club
Clube Paineiras do Morumby In June of 2006, almost the middle of winter here in Brazil, I brought a digital camera to my health club and captured some images of the facility and surrounding vistas.

In the city of Sao Paulo there are purported to be over 3,000 restaurants and featuring foods of every ethnicity you’d find in any world-class city. Certainly the beef is famous and many people have heard of churrasco (a Brazilian counterpart of the barbecue), especially since Brazilian restaurants are now popular throughout the world. What […]
