Lugar de Gente Feliz (Happy People Place)

An outing this morning to China Park--Lugar de Gente Feliz--a resort nestled in a near-by valley with lakes, sports facilities, hotels and water park. Beautiful, and we were certainly all happy to be there.

They have a variety of water slides. With David and Sara I tried all except the frog, wishing my own grandkids could join us.

Condominiums and chalets are for sale, and you can arrange to have them rented out when you aren't there. Very tempting in this lovely climate if it weren't for the cost of the flight to get here.

We lunched in a place on site where you fill your plate and pay by the kilo. Delicious. Something like the cold buffet at Fogo do Chão, and qually hard to make sure you don't get carried away. This one is not included in the price.

I loved these creative benches scattered around.

They are cute empty, but better filled with friends.
