Central Market


Among the many things to explore in Brazil is the wonderful world of "Taste"... Here the girls are experimenting with Acai cream. Its like healthy ice cream, and I think Sarah could be addicted to it if she could have easy access to it.


Jeanne was so impressed with the hanging meats... So she asked to take a close up shot of it and there were entire pigs hanging from hooks but she thought that was a bit much to post.


The girls bought a bit of "doce de leite" which is milk that has been stirred for about 8 hours until it turns brown and begins to caramelize. The vendors sell it in all kinds of textures... In brick form and in a more "spreadable" type. Jeanne got in a bit of trouble for mashing the sweets... But they ended up spending a bit of money to buy some and all was forgiven...

The girls here are looking at different types of semi precious stones set into necklaces and earrings.

All in all it was a fun day out and the girls had a good time of fellowship and learning here in Belo Horizonte!

Keep an eye on their updates so you can see the details straight from them!
