South America Overview

The last day day in South America was spent in a town near the airport and it was nice to be able to introduce Shannon to real life Brazil. We ate at a favela restaurant. That was just the name of it and not actually in the favela as that would be a bit of a shock to Shannon's system! It was typical Brazilian food and it was very good. We also had Acai and Brazillian coffee. Even in the midst of the Christmas shoppers, it was hard to believe that it was Christmas Eve.

At the airport, it was time for Shannon to taste the pasties. It wouldn't be something we would normally eat but whilst in Brazil we had to try!
