Coming back to Sao Paulo
As we packed up to leave on Saturday morning we were visited by this local cat who laid the charm on us big-time to get some treats. It worked!
After eleven hours of driving we were hungry, sore, uncomfortable, and grouchy (not to mention dizzy). Our spirits were lifted significantly when we saw that next to the McDonalds we were going to eat at there was a Dunkin' Donuts!! We've never seen a Dunkin' Donuts here and Shannon had recently commented about how much she was missing Tim Horton's coffee. It wasn't a "real" Dunkin' Donuts--they only had 8 donuts in the whole store! But they were the real deal! We paid R$3.60 ($1.80 Cdn) for ONE donut (now you know why they only had 8) just so we could say we had one. We all shared it too. Shannon got her coffee (half the size of a Tim Horton's small coffee--large by Brazilian standards) and she was on the doorstep of heaven. It was such a momentous event that we got the guy who pumped our gas to take a picture of us all in front of the store.
