Sons wife her father is head honcho of two masonic lodges and we went to an after meeting get together as well. If I said all the very top business men of San Paulo were there i wouldn't be far wrong. We were treated like honoured guests.
At the bungalow lots of daughter in laws friends kept turning up and the Brazilian young ladies are enough to make you go blind. oh the pools were in full use most of the time.
D-in-Law was even asked to be one of the governors of San Paulo but she turned it down afraid of going against the maffia and disappearing forever

story for you of me being extremely worried at first.
WE decided (sue -myself -son and his wife) the 4 of us to go out one evening for a burger.
So we went to this house and the drive had a couple of snooker tables and at the back was a counter, totally covered it all was. Think of a narrow back street that was dark and how dangerous places like this area is in Brazil.
On the pavement each side of the drive were table and chairs. On one table were six or seven rough looking guys all tattooed up drinking beer out of bottles and women there as well.
Bloody hell you think I am getting out of the car, no bloody way.
It took a lot of persuading and eventually I got out and crossed the road towards them. never thought i would even walk again if I opened my mouth, never been so worried in my life.
Anyway go over there and what a hell of a shock, yes a real shock. All those outside at the table worked for her father and the guy running the bar, the property again was rented from her father.
to give better idea
Have you ever been hugged by 6 or 7 big strong building type worker guys and the women, talk about a welcome, like being part of a long lost family meeting. Just shows how wrong one can be on first impressions.

How my son got to know her is another story and eventually marry her. Have to say we were vetted as to who we were for their daughter , her parents were worried naturally. When they found out we had our own business we were ok apparently.
