A frenzy of meat, then futbol

We are currently at the Tiete bus station, waiting for our bus to Paraty. Our last day in Sampa was full of frenzy. After church, not a frenzy, we had lunch at a churrascaria. If you ever saw the movie Polar Express, there's a scene where the train conductor orders hot cocoa for the little boy. All of a sudden, dozens of waiters dance out with steaming mugs of cocoa. Well, substitute meat for cocoa, and you can picture it. Every 30 seconds, a waiter carrying a slab of meat and a large knife would come to our table, slicing a hunk for us if we seemed vaguely interested. Faster and faster they flew, enticing us with about 15 different types of flesh. Wow, vegetarians would sorta suffer (except for the sushi, salads and lebanese food they had at the buffet part). After that frenzy, we went to Pacaembu Stadium and saw 2 Sao Paulo teams play soccer-- the Corinthians versus Portuguesa. We sat with the Corinthians. They have cousins with the Raider Nation-- cheers, boos, drums thumping, rythmic whistling, large banners waving, men cursing and even a love song that went (Corinthians, you are my life. Corinthians, you are my story. Corinthians, you are my love. Corinthians.). Wild frenzy and great fun.
