Golfing in Brazil

BrazilPosted by Kacy

18 Jun

As much as we wish we could, we can’t spend all of our time in Brazil traveling to new places. Our home-base is a smaller (but very affordable) city and although there’s not a ton to do on the weekends, we’ve managed to find several fun ways to get the most out of this extended travel experience.

We’ve enjoyed seeing a movie for the first time since… Gone Girl? We watched Mad Max at a nice theater here in Bauru, in English with American subtitles. The conversion rate makes the movie going experience much cheaper for us here than in the U.S. (which is why we don’t go that often, plus I hate sitting for that long) which is a nice perk.

We also went to a Festa Junina one weekend, a traditional party celebrating the end of the rainy season and rural life with lots of food, a bonfire and dancing.

Bauru Golf ClubeTom loves to golf but sadly wasn’t able to bring his clubs to Brazil, where the weather is almost always perfect for 18 holes. After some research, however, we discovered that he could rent equipment for a reasonable price at a golf club just thirty minutes from our apartment.

    Wow, that sky! Sometimes a perfect weekend is as simple as a good movie and a day out in the sun!

      Thanks Naomi! The golf was less interesting to me than the views and the gorgeous weather, something Brazil is never short on!

      Thanks! I think with golf being featured in the Olympics in Rio next year, golf in Brazil will become even more common 🙂
