Campos do Jordão part II- Nice carrinho

Our stay in Campos happened to align with a classic car convention. We decided to walk around and check out the cars and wow!  What a variety of classic and expensive cars!






Bonus blog points to anyone who can tell me what this rooster logo is?  I don't have a clue but it sure looked impressive.



Actually while rolling around Campos we turned quite a few heads ourselves. Some people would whisper and point.  A few people were brave enough to speak up and comment on our nice ride:
The Double Stroller
Since anything that is imported into Brazil faces heavy tariffs this baby would cost a fortune...if you could find one. It must be a pretty novel to people here since we get comments about it constantly. 

With the fancy cars, the boots, and the furs this excursion made us start to realize that there is quite a large population of wealthy people here ... The difference that really affects the economy here is that there isn't a strong middle class. In other words, there are a lot of very wealthy families but a huge impoverished population without much in between.  

More comments on this in the next "A Vida" installment.... "New York is cheap!"
