As<\/strong> with last year, the Consulate hosted all the Law Enforcement agencies in Sao Paulo to a BBQ with music.\u00a0 Understand, that a Brazilian BBQ is not like we have in Texas.<\/p>\n

And as with last year, there were many booths set up by the different branches of the Brazilian Police.\u00a0 So, I have a mess of pictures to show but understand, even though these booths were set up for picture taking, I always asked permission from these good people just as a courtesy.<\/p>\n

Last year, they had the K-9 force, but this year they didn’t; but they did have the beautiful horses again.\u00a0 I have had very little contact with these amazing animals in my life, so I was amazed at the sheer beauty they have.\u00a0 It is as if they are made up only of muscle, sinew, bone and a skin of leather.\u00a0\u00a0 And as expected, people were given the opportunity to ride them.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> Below are an assortment of pictures that I took of the various booths.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>One display was a walk-in cab with an assortment of drugs and paraphernalia that was confiscated.\u00a0 It was a bit eerie as I actually found it to be looking at some of the instruments of Satan.\"\"<\/a>Below is a very small part of the water fire fighting force.\u00a0 I am sure they had a better title, but that is the best I can come up with at this time.\u00a0 The word Bombeiros means firefighter.\"\"<\/a>To me, the most interesting group is the CHOQUE Team.\u00a0 They are equivalent to our SWAT Teams.\u00a0 Choque is pronounced “Shock”.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>And on the other end of the spectrum, were …. clowns.\"\"<\/a>They didn’t seem to fit the program, but the kids loved them, and they did a very good act.\u00a0 If I understood Portuguese, I guess I would have loved them more.<\/p>\n

And there was a butt-load of food and beer, and people chowing down.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>And these last pictures I found quite interesting.\u00a0 First is a picture of a lady taking a picture:\"\"<\/a>Then a picture of one of my many bosses with his very pretty little one…\"\"<\/a>Then a picture of an individual who I would not want to meet in a dark alley if I was a felon:\"\"<\/a>Brazil is a country unlike any other I have been in.\u00a0 I love it and its people.\u00a0 I will sincerely miss everything about it.<\/p>\n

Kick butt, but behave yourself if you come to Brazil.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 D.<\/p>\n
