GRU – HOU – SFO

Posted on August 1, 2019 by vanbraman

I am at the airport and waiting for the first of two flights to get back home.

777-300, United Airlines, Boeing 777, Newark Airport, Reflection picture

The first flight leaves at 9:10 PM, so it will be an overnight flight. The picture above is just to represent an evening flight as this is a 777 at Newark. I will be flying on a 767 from Sao Paulo (GRU).

The first flight is scheduled for 10 hours and 10 minutes and will land early Friday morning at Houston (HOU).Triple 7, Boeing 777, Flight to Tokyo, SFO - HND, Airplane

The flight from Houston to San Francisco (SFO) will be on a 777 and will only be four hours and four minutes long.

It will be nice to land early in the day as I will hopefully not have too much traffic as I head home.

I will close this post with a few of my favorite pictures from the last two weeks.

brazilian sushi, strawberry sushi, sweet sushi, sweet and savory

One day this week we had Sushi for lunch. I really liked this little piece that was topped with a strawberry. See: Sushi in Brazil

I had a lot of great food during my stay including a nice meal at a Churrascaria.

Now to relax until my flight and then try to get some sleep as I wing my way home.

On the way to Lunch in Sao Paulo

Posted on July 31, 2019 by vanbraman

Tonight I will share a few pictures that I took while on the way to lunch.

power lines, data lines, sao paulo, brazil

It is always interesting to see overhead lines when I travel. Back home most of the utilities are underground and I don’t often see many overhead lines. I took this picture as we were leaving the office.

typewriter, garage, brazil, bars

As we parked the car near the restaurant, I noticed this little scene. It was interesting to see an old typewriter one a shelf in a garage. I just had to take a picture.

Sao Paulo, courtyard, pizza restaurant, tile

As we walked toward the restaurant we passed this interesting courtyard in front of a pizza place. It was really cool to see the colorful tiles on the wall.

custom truck, old truck, brazil

Here is an interesting truck that we saw. The cab of the truck looks very old and the back looks like a new creation. There are a lot of older vehicles in Sao Paulo. I have seen many old VW vans and other classic cars.

Bom de Minas, restaurant, Sao Paulo, Brazil, lunch

Here we are finally at the restaurant.  I really like the many brightly colored buildings in Sao Paulo.

Lunch, beans and rice, meat, banananas

Well, one more picture. I decided that you may want to see what I had for lunch. It was delicious.
