MAG Shopping Dinner

After the consultation we looked around the MAG Shopping mall a bit and then decided to get some 'fast food' from a kiosk on the first floor.  We first started out with three coxihna de Frango's (chicken bombs as we call them) and one chocolate churro, but went back for more.  There was an Empadinhas Barnabé stand next to this stand and we've been wanting to try them so I got three (they are like mini muffins with stuff inside basically).  One cammarão (shrimp), one tomato seco ricotta (sun dried tomato and ricotta), and one banana cinnamon.  The only one that tasted good was the banana one, the others were really not our taste.  After we couldn't even bare to finish these is when Chris went back for one more chicken bomb and two more churros.  The churros were way too good.  They were a normal churro stick like you see anywhere else, then rolled in sugar and next the guy stuck the churro into a tube with whichever flavor you'd asked for (the choices were chocolate, duce de leite, and strawberry) and filled the inside of the churro with it the flavoring/puddling consistency... yeah, really tasty.  The churros were R$1.50 = US$0.81 each, the chicken bombs were R$1.20 = US$0.65 each for a total of R$9.30 = US$5.05 from the churro stand.  The empanadas were R$1.70 = US$0.92 a piece for a total of R$5.10 = US$2.77.  The Visa rate was R$1.84 = US$1.00 today.

Once we were done eating we began the mile walk back to the apartment.  This was a brisk walk as the sky looked very ready to begin downpouring on us and a couple of times we did get some sprinkles, which the girls thought was hilarious.  I like the think I worked off the churros at least a little bit with the brisk one mile walk back to the apartment.  We arrived back at 6:00 p.m.
