In 1984, one of our most dedicated leaders, Eric Poliak suddenly passed away. An award
was created in his name, to honor his spirit of volunteering and giving back to the

EscapetotheClubeHípica
ByHelenShaw
CONSULATECORNER
Ilove living in São Paulo. The bustling
streets, the bars and restaurants, the
culture,themusic,thepeople–everyday,
I marvel at how lucky I am to live here. I’ve
livedinalotofbigcities,butSãoPauloisby
farthebiggestandthebusiest.Asmuchas
I love it here, sometimes the endless
concrete gets to me, and I just feel this
inescapableurgetogetoutintonature.
That’s why once week, near the end of my
workday at the Consulate, I catch myself
lookingattheclock.Iwaitimpatientlyasthe
minutes tick by. As soon as work is over, I
grabmybootsandhelmetanddriveoutto
the clube hípica, the equestrian club. I
breatheindeeply,andsuddenlythosecity
smellsarereplacedwiththesmellofhorses,
hay,andtrees—awelcomechange.
WhenIarriveatthestables,I’mgreetedby
one of the horse grooms. He’s got an
infectioussmileandalwaysseemstobein
a good mood, talking a million miles a
minute as he zips around the stables,
tacking and untacking the horses. He’s a
good foot shorter than I am, but doesn’t
seem to be afraid of even the biggest,
grumpiest horses. This is good for me,
becauseInfiniti,thehorseIride,isabsolutely
enormous and always seems to be in a
terriblemood.
The groom helps me get saddled up and
mountedonthehorse,andthenInfinitiand
Iambleouttothering,wheremytraineris
waiting.Mytraineriseffortlesslycoolerthan
Iwilleverbe,andwhileI’mputtingmyhorse
through his paces, he wanders around
dictatingvoicememostohismanyfriends
onWhatsApp,intrueBrazilianfashion.
IappreciateridinginBrazil.WhenIusedto
ride in the United States, I got the feeling
that my trainers were overly worried that I
wouldfall,hurtmyself,andsuethem.Here,
mytrainerisn’tafraidtochallengeme.Not
tomention,ofcourse,thatpracticingasport
inadifferentlanguageisagreatwaytolearn
new vocabulary in Portuguese – not just
things like “stirrups” and “reins” but also
words like “counter-clockwise” and “figure
eight”. By chatting with the people at the
stables, I learn slang and idiomatic
expressions that I would never learn in my
moreformaluseofPortugueseatwork.
After my riding lesson is over, I often hang
aroundchattingwiththehorsetrainersand
grooms.Theyaskmeaboutwhatlifeislike
intheUnitedStates(“Soyou’refromTexas,
did you ride a horse to school?”), and I ask
them my questions about Brazil (“Why are
Brazilianssointothevoicememofeatureof
WhatsApp?”). Spending the afternoon at
the stables allows me to interact with
Braziliansoutsideofworkandtoengagein
the type of person-to-person exchange of
ideas and culture that is the foundation of
diplomacy.
To me, the clubehípica is a welcome oasis
in the vast expanse of concrete that is São
Paulo. Going there – to the fresh air, the
smells, the horses, and the people I am so
fondof–isnowoneofthemanyreasonsI
lovelivinginSãoPaulo.§

StartYourDayWithAHealthyBlendedColdBrew
ByErinnMonteiro,Member
Ifinditreallydifficulttodrinkhotcoffeein
hot weather. So upon moving to Brazil,
oneofthefirstthingsIstartedmakingon
a regular basis was my own cold-brewed
coffee.BackintheStates,itwaseasytograb
acoldbrewatnearlyanycoffeeshop.Here,
evenregularicedcoffeecanbehardtofind
(and expensive if you do), and it’s often so
watered-downitdoesn’tseemworthit.
What’s the difference between cold brew
and iced coffee? Iced coffee is simply hotbrewed
coffee that’s been cooled (and
diluted) with ice. Cold-brewed coffee, on
the other hand, is coffee that has been
brewed with cold or room temperature
water for a long period of time (at least 8
hours).The benefit to having the patience
tomakecoldbrewisthatitendsupbeing
about 60% less acidic than hot or iced
coffee, resulting in not only a smoothertastingbrew,butonethatismucheasieron
thestomach.
Coldbrewcanobviouslybeconsumedon
itsown,andifyouusegood-qualitybeans
this can be really delicious. But for those
who crave a bit of sweetness and
creaminess, this recipe is for you. This is a
much healthier (and far cheaper)
alternative to something like a Starbucks
Frappuccino(whichbearsmorenutritional
resemblance to a milkshake). Sweetened
naturally with fruit and boosted with
protein-packed collagen that is great for
gut, skin, and hair health, this drink will
satisfy your Frappuccino craving without
thesugarhighandcrash,whilegivingyou
aniceboostofnutritiontostartyourday.I

Recently, your AmSoc Board came to the
conclusionthatAmSocisatastagewhere

São Paulo-based homes and one
Campinas-based after school program.

that AmSoc will continue supporting are:

Now we would like to askYOU, our caring

FindingthePerfectGiftforDepartingFriends
ByMalcolmMacdonald,VicePresident
Another year gone by and true to
form,theCampinasExpatsgathered
at the home of one of our number
tocelebrate.Thisyearwasratherpoignant,
as we are losing due to relocation two of
our dear friends; Mark Copman, AmSoc
boardmemberandgreatfriend,andhiswife
KarriareheadingbackhometoMinnesota.
Every year for the last 10 years our end of
yearpartyhasbeenheldatthissamehouse
— it is a beloved tradition.The news that
Mark and Karri were leaving turned this
party into a bon voyage party as well,
creatingthelast-minutetasktolocatethe
perfectpartinggift:onethatwouldremind
our friends of their time in Brazil and
Campinas.
On the morning of the party, still no gift
procured, my wife and I suddenly
rememberedthatoneofourfavoritelocal
artistsRogerioPedrohadpaintedamural
at Mark’s place of work in the staff dining
hall. Could we get a work of art from
Rogeriointimefortheparty?Whatanidea!
Light,easytotransport,aworkofartbya
CampinasartistwithBrazilianflair.
Rogerio Pedro is from Campinas and his
main form of expression is on canvas and
through murals. His first contact with art
wasinthe1990sinSãoPaulo,thecradleof
Brazilian urban art, also known today as
street art. He explored several various
artisticveinsuntil2012,whenhebeganto
take on various major projects for murals,
an artistic expression for which he has
gainedinternationalacclaim.
Rogerio’s murals emerged as a way for
companies and individuals to tell stories,
everyday situations, or their own
experiences through the artist’s work. His
street-honedgraffititechniqueseemedthe
bestwaytomanifesthisessentiallyvibrant
and cheerful art. Spray paint and many
colors reveal his great focus: joy,
entertainment, and the desire to make
peoplehappy.
Those of us who walk the streets of
Campinashavecertainlycomeacrosssome
of his work: the design that adorns the
facade of the Ipanema Optics store in the
Cambuí neighborhood, or art that graces
the Antiquario Casa Azul in the Bosque
neighborhood.
As well as creating murals, he also paints
oncanvas.HisarthasbeenexhibitedinSão
Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Bahia,
and Miami, with works published in New
York, France, and Spain, and in the
influential book “The Artbook Brazil”.
Rogeriohaspaintingsinprivatecollections
in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre,
Miami, Fort Lauderdale, NewYork, Vienna,
and Buenos Aires — shortly to include
Minnesotaaswell.
His work is full of colors and Brazilian
characteristics that he developed through
much study and immersion into Brazilian
art. Among his main influences, Rogerio
alwayscitestheSantaCatarinaartistJuarez
Machado,77,livinginParissince1986.
What better way to celebrate happy years

February/March2020
CarnavalinSãoPaulo
ByMalcolmMacdonald,VicePresident
Carnaval, the largest Brazilian festival,
originated in Salvador during the
colonial period, around the 17 th
century, with the celebration of Entrudo, a
partyofPortugueseoriginthatlastedthree
days and preceded Lent. The party was
celebrated on the streets, did not always
involvemusic,andboileddowntorunning
through the cities throwing water and
“limoes de cheiro” a kind of 17 th century
water-balloon where the lime scented
liquidwasencasedinaballmadeofathin
layerofwax.
Over time, Carnaval in Brazil became
popular,grewbeyondSalvadorandgained
different characteristics in each region. In
São Paulo, the party acquired different
socio-cultural elements in the early
twentieth century, with the common
peopleenjoyingdancessuchasthejongo,
and the Moçambique Conga along with
traditional dances and songs. The upper
classes enjoyed traditional Carnaval balls
promoted in the great halls of the high
society with music and dances more akin
toEuropeanfancydressballs.
Samba started to emerge in the late 19th
century, heavily inspired by former slaves
whoenjoyedrhythmicdrummingandlithe
dancing in colorful costumes. The first
Samba group of samba lovers called a
CordãoinSãoPauloappearedin1914and
wascalled“CordãodaBarraFunda”.Therest
is history. Everyone loved the idea, several
other“Cordões”emergedandlater,asearly
as 1930, many were transformed into the
first samba schools and samba“blocks”in
thestate.
Longaccustomedtoplayingsecond,third,
or even fourth fiddle to theWorld famous
CarnavalfestivalsinRio,Salvador,andRecife,
the São Paulo Carnaval is now the second
largestinthecountry,withdozensofsamba
schools,hundredsofCarnavalstreetblocks,
andthousandsoftouristsfromaroundthe
worldwhovisitthecitytofollowtheparty
asupcloseandpersonalaspossible.
IfyouarenewlyarrivedinSãoPauloandare
thinking how lucky you are to be so close
to Rio for Carnaval but shame it’s so
crowded and expensive, may I make a
suggestion that the Carnaval in São Paulo
is a surprisingly excellent substitute and
better cost benefit. Tickets to watch the
parade, while not cheap, are much more
affordablethaninRio.
Perhaps the most fun is to take advantage
ofanopportunitytoactuallyparadewitha
mainSãoPaulosambaschool.Todothisyou
don'tneedaticket.Youonlyneedtobuya
predesigned costume and be prepared to
wait in the wings for your time to shine. I
havedonethismyself,andthoughreluctant

nobetterwayofunderstandingthepower
of Brazilian Carnaval than parading down
