The "Food of Brazil" post is coming. I *did* drink spigot water in Brazil. it was just a bit of culture shock seeing it after so long -- I never saw any waterfountains or their like in Ecuador/Peru.

What?? Loved the Sao Paulo piece. Talk about (me being jaded) - living in DC has NOT prepared me for what other cities look like, or offer. The pics from atop Santander floored me. You didn't tell us about "food" in Braz. Did you not drink the spigot water in SP? Yet you did in BA? Looking forward to more blogging! No clue what M and friends is alluding to!?!?! What??

Just an idea.
