Fresh Air

Ok, well actually the title of this post is a bit mis-leading. There really is no fresh air in Sao Paulo. However, the Birthday party we attended Friday night was absolutely a breath of fresh air. The venue was down to earth - no blasting disco music, no video games, and no Disney garbage. Just simple, Amazon-themed wooden play toys, environmental games, and lots of fun and traditional music to dance to for the kids. The parents (for the most part) were hands-on, and what babas there were kept out of the limelight and out of the kids' hair. A few beers, and few deep fried delights, and a few great conversations later and we really felt like we finally have found a crowd where we fit in. Joy!
