Master Series de Toronto
Hello guys, On 25/07 we went to Toronto to visit our newest friends Renato, Fernanda, Lucas and Felipe (also gauchos, but from the capital. Hehe…), who welcomed us into their home along with the oldest friends Gadi, Suzi and Ana. We stayed the 9 in their apartment, but despite the amount of people on the same roof, we were very well accommodated. 🙂 We arrived on Friday night and were greeted with a super barbecue, including with the right cassava flour… Hehehe… They have been in Toronto for a little over 5 months and are living in North York, which is a city in the metropolitan area with approximately 650,000…

Part IV – Architectural beauties of Montreal
Hello guys, Finishing the tours of the month of June still, suuper delayed, I am posting today some of the sights that has for one of its characteristics, the sculptural and innovative architecture. Biodome de Montreal Olympic Stadium – Built for the 1976 Olympics… … by French architect Roger Taillibert … with its 175-meter tower. Unfortunately, the Olympic park is reputed to be the "white elephant" since incredible CAD$1.61 billion was spent to fully pay for it, which only happened in December 2006 (the figure includes construction, repairs, renovations, interest and inflation) and are still high annual spending amounts to keep the complex apparently not completely used. … in the…

Part III – Grand Prix du Canada – 2008
Hello guys, Wow!! As time has passed flying this Canadian summer, so this post will be leaner, but objective, since the day-to-day has been rushed in these northern hemisphere lands. Tips that can be useful for those who can venture into the automotive environment: 1. Sunscreen factor 30 or higher (as we took the biggest burn in history, I would take up if we had rain forecast hehe). 2. Portable chairs are a great idea if you bought the ticket for the “general admission”… 3. You can take everything a little: drinks, including alcoholic, snacks, marmite, chicken with farofa etc. A lousy hot dog with no sauce over there costs…

Part II – Ville de Québec
Hi all Today I come to post, mostly photos, our tour of Ville de Québec. We were there, me, Diego, Ari and Lourdes, on Saturday, June 7, coming from Montreal where we were staying in a super comfortable inn, whose owners are very fine people say in passing. Well, we decided to go back and forth the same day, since the next morning we’d go to Formula One. We had already imagined and had heard that the city was beautiful and really confirmed itself. Ville de Quebec proved to be a charming city, being for its historic architecture or for its natural beauties. The main sights are basically located in…

Montreal – Part I
Montreal and part of motorsport, As you may have noticed in the title of the post, the events of the last weekend will be separated by chapters, and it would be impossible to post the 240 photos in the same post … Hehehe Ari and Lourdes, Diego’s parents, are here with us, realizing the first visits from Brazil at newhome. Therefore, we planned right away a trip to Montreal and Ville de Québec, to also show the Quebecoises beauties to them (and we who also did not know Ville de Québec). On Friday the 1st, we went for a walk through Montreal and began to feel the atmosphere of Formula…
