Arrived 27/11/09
So the brazilian adventure has begun. Due to various issues my arrival here to start my work assignment at the Ford Taubate Engine Plant was probably 4 months later than expected. Had to play catch up, working long hours and 7 day weeks which has precluded any real exploring or R&R but now have 4 days off for Christmas to recharge.
Did squeeze in a works BBQ a couple of weeks ago and skillfully aided the England team to a dismall 4-2 loss against the home nation.
. 
A "Gaucho" was hired for the barbie to serve up to an attentive audience a range of traditional meats all cooked to succulent perfection. The key, apart from the meat quality, is the wood and salt rub used. This carnivore was left in seventh heaven. Vegetarians struggle in Brazil.
The after effects of the local firewater Pinga which will no doubt be making recurring appearances in this blog
Portuguese lessons have started so I wish one and all a Feliz Natal e Próspero Ano Novo!!
