My Weekend: R and R in Campos do Jordão


Thanks to some unknown Brazilian holiday we had a three day weekend around these parts.  We took the opportunity to travel to Campos do Jordão, a charming little town about 3 hours away.  It was just what my soul needed-great views, relaxing atmosphere, quality time with my honey, amazing food, and just good old fun.  


We took the cable cars up a hill to get a view of the little town.  Y'all I was scared!  Jess had the other camera, but once I upload those pictures I will post an awful and embarrassing funny picture of my clinging to my little pole next to my seat. Once we got to the top it was worth it.  The weather was a little cloudy so the pictures don't do it justice. 



Jess walked around while I napped one day and took some great pictures.  It was so green and colorful and the buildings are similar to European towns. We had a great time walking and exploring--with lots of stops for chocolate and beer. 

We kept joking we were on Diagon Alley from Harry Potter.  




Jesus Saves!

 On Saturday I was craving fondue, we found this great little restaurant and were not disappointed. 


The day we left it was perfect weather.  We enjoyed a couple more glasses of our new favorite beer and ate one more doce de leite crepes before hitting the road home.  The drive home was filled with beautiful scenery and great company, which made it go even faster. 


Jess and I were talking about how blessed we are to be able and experience new places like Campos do Jordão with each other.  Next stop the beaches of Brasil!

This looks like so much fun! Your photos are gorgeous. And it does make me think of Diagon Alley!
