Bob and his blog is born

So there I was, sitting in this great Brazilian steakhouse called Fogo de Chao in Sao Paulo, Brazil this afternoon when it just hit me; bob and his blog. I don't know if it was the 15 different cuts of steak I ate that got my creative juices flowing, the "Coca Cola light" (which is better than the US version of diet coke by the way) or the fried banana that is traditional in Brazil, but it occurred to me that I actually wanted to have my own blog. I know, I was surprised too. I love the blog my wife keeps at http://www.allthingsjohnson.blogspot.com/ but felt like I wanted to do my own. My initial thought would be to keep this as a sort of travel journal to document some of my experiences when I travel around the globe but it could be more or less than that. I suppose we'll have to see.

This is an example of the meat at Fogo de Chao's. You should eat there.

This is my first trip of 08. So far its been uneventful. I spent about 3 hours cruising around Sao Paulo today only to discover there isn't much to see. Its a nice city, but nothing too exceptional. I did however discover that Portuguese is very different different that Spanish. I always thought they were more similar than they are. I was only able to catch about 15% of what the cab driver was saying.
