Brazil Continued

It's been a whirlwind of food, company tours, lectures and more food. Yesterday we toured Embraer, Brazil's version of Boeing. Very interesting. Today... McCann Erickson provided a terrific marketing strategy presentation on Brazil's demographics.
Our dining has included two steak houses. Here they bring different grilled meats to the table and shave small portions off, for your selection. Sausage, pork, lamb, several types of beef. This and a salad bar that is mind boggling. Of course each meal comes with desserts and coffee.
Despite the crazy pace and packed schedule, I've still managed to squeeze in a beer in the evening and a run in the morning. During the runs and just outside today's lunch venue, were these very colorful plastic cows. These were not like the cement cows that lined the streets of Chicago, but I did think it was pretty cool to see these around the city.
It's all good and, of course... as much FUN as I can make it. Fun includes my slow, but sure progress learning Portuguese to the embarrassment of no one but me.
