A Day in Embu

The Saturday before Kelsey left, we went to Embu. It is an artist's town next to Sao Paulo. There are hundreds of store fronts and booths. Everything they sell must be made in Brazil. Top photo is the sign welcoming you to Embu das Artes. Kelsey, Al and I had fun shopping at the different stores and booths and visiting with people. We met an American family from Arizona who live in Sao Paulo right now. The Minden Family. He works for a US company there and they have six beautiful children. Photo 3: We ate at an outdoor restaurant while we were there, delicious! On the way home we stopped at the "Corn Palace". We had a drink made from corn, corn ice cream and a bread that was a lot like the scallop corn I make for my family. Al and I liked the corn drink but Kelsey wasn't wild about it but the corn ice cream was really good. Photo 4: Just outside the Corn Palace was a beautiful little garden with a pond. In the pond were several turtles. When the turtles saw us standing there, they were right there staring at us, we threw them some bread crumbs and they were right on it! They must expect that kind of treat. As we left we snapped a picture of Kelsey with the Corn King himself.
