Rain

The rain continues to fall heavily so after lunch we took a little break at the hotel and I decided to update again. This morning we walked around the Municipal park in Belo Horizonte and then headed to a museum to get out of the rain. We had lunch at "Bem Natural" which had a wide/varied selection of great vegetarian food by the kilo. And I had an entire delicious meal without cheese (which seems to be the staple of all other meat-free diets in Brazil).

Last night we also went to a really nice dinner at Vila Arabe. There were two waiters doting on us and would even tuck you into your chair. We had no clue what was going on because they began bringing us food (falafels, pitas with cheese oregano and tomatoe, vegetarian kibes, etc) before we had even started ordering. It was a delicious meal. After dinner we walked around Praca da Liberdade which is absolutely adorned with Christmas lights. Every tree is intertwined with lights as is the gazebo. They made a huge archway down the center paths of lights as well. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera on us to capture the magic.
