Weekend in Curitiba

After the gigantism of Sao Paolo, we headed south by bus to Curitiba (aka for the Googlers ` Pedro `s city` btw Pedro says `Hi`).
In this peaceful city of 2M inhabitants, we discovered and enjoyed:

* Some live music in pubs and restaurants (we still didn t dare to dance)
* Feijoada. This is a typical brazilian dish very well described by one of Pedro´s friends as the "Brazilian goulash".
* The Oscar Nieymer Museum which had a great exhibition of Vik Muniz . We were as well so excited about the architecture of Nieymer that we decided to book a flight to Brasilia where he has designed many public buildings!
* The family atmosphere at Pedro´s house (with his wife, parents visiting from Portugal, friends, dog..)
* That it is not always warm in Brazil. Curitiba tends to have what we would call an Irish weather
* The Football riot at the end of the Coritiba game (broadcasted on TV)..Yes Brazilian people are indeed passionate about football!
