Rodizio

This weekend has been rather eventful. Saturday, I remained in Fortaleza to do some work, and spent the afternoon on the coast on Avenida Beira Mar. Ben and Nate journeyed a half hour inland to some mountains near Fortaleza along with a Brazilian friend. Unfortunately, they were met by an armed robber who apparently may have recently escaped from the local jail. They lost their bags, digital cameras, cell phones, wallets, and a small amount of money, but thankfully they escaped unharmed.

Sunday afternoon, we joined Ila (One of the Brazilian Fogarty Fellows) and her husband for lunch at a Rodizio. It's a place where all sorts of meat, seafood, and vegetables are served buffet style, and in addition, circulating waiters bring different cuts of meat right to your table. We ate quite a bit, as the photos below illustrate...
