We have had a wide variety of weather in our first week of the trip. In São Paulo is was very hot and very humid. Last night and this morning in Urubici it felt cold. We sat by a fire and read last night. Then we snuggled under a big comforter to sleep.
We have had grey skies, mist, and torrential downpours as well as beautiful blue skies with lots of sun.
Yesterday at the grocery store we bought a big mango and a big papaya and some pastries. We had them for breakfast this morning.
In order to get from our car to our chalet and back again we had to go over a very bouncy suspension bridge. We survived and started down the road this morning about 9:15.
Today as we drove further west we left the mountains behind and drove through rolling hills with fields of wheat and lots of grain storage facilities.
The town of Treze Tílias where we are tonight had a lot of Austrian immigrants. Here is our room tonight at Hospedaria Pattis.
For dinner we walked to a restaurant about half a mile from where we are staying, Chef Haus Restaurante e Pizzaria. On the way we saw lots of evidence that this town has an Austrian heritage. We even saw dirdls and lederhosen in a shop window. For dinner we had pizza.
