Meet Me in São Luís: Feliz Natal
This post is part of an ongoing series which seeks to introduce the readership of this blog to the many fascinating aspects of one of Brazil’s best-kept secrets–the city of São Luís.
The city of São Luís has gone all out in their Christmas decorations. While I have been unable to photograph many of the more attractive areas, I did get the main attraction–a huge Christmas tree downtown.
The big tree, dwarfing the palm trees around it.
Right next to the tree, in front of the Maria Aragão church, is this larger-than-life nativity scene.
Mikey and Nay Nay tried their hand at shepherding two-dimensional sheep.
This could be a scene from the North Pole…were it not for the palm trees in the background.
São Luís is a beautiful city, and it looks really nice decked out for Christmas. The lights downtown (which I couldn’t get due to my camera’s lack of ability to take night pictures) are spectacular. We have thoroughly enjoyed being here during this Christmas season.
