Praia do Inglese

On Thursday some people from ISA and I went on another adventure around the island. We decided we were going to go check out a new beach we had not been to before called Praia do Inglese, it is on the north side of the island, about an hour bus ride from Centro (where I live). So we hopped on the bus and headed up north to check it out. On the way there while we were waiting at the bus terminal for the second bus, I got some pao di queijo, which is a brazilian classic, it's bread (pao) with cheese (queijo) and it so to die for here! (my two favorite things combined!)

They bake it fresh at the bus terminals, they also have empadas here which are to die for as well, these will be two food items I miss a lot when I am back in the states, so I need to learn how to make them! Empadas are like Mexican Empanadas (from what I have heard from the people on the trip from Mexico) but they are these things that are made of bread dough and the roll it out thinly and put some type of either meat, cheese, or both inside and bake them. I really like the empada de frango, which are the ones with chicken in them.

Once we got to the beach, we walked around the little town area a little, then sat down on the sand and enjoyed the scenery, it is so beautiful. There are little islands scattered off the coast of Floripa and the view of them from the beaches are stunning, they look like a post card!
