Restaurant Fronteira - All you can eat Pizza for R$15,00

So today (August 11, 2009 - posted day later) was my second day of training. It went alot better in terms of not feeling so drained and beat up like the first day. I got to roll with one black belt today - which is great because it shows me how much I have to learn. I guess with JIU JITSU you can spend your life learning something new - which is the best approach IMHO.

Got back from my morning training session showered up and ate the other half of my chicken, rice and beans meal from the previous night. I Went straight back to bed as I feel that I need to rest as much as possible if I want to keep up a regular training schedule. Woke up and felt a bit hungry so I walked down to the bakery and ended up just getting junk food (doritos, a bottle of coke, some candy) which was not a wise idea as I felt like crap after eating them.

I decided I would try to sleep of some more of the flu I have - which helped when I did eventually wake up as I felt so much better. Everyone had gone to the evening training session so I was alone for a bit. Everyone got back and Anthony - one of the Brits - showed me some of the pictures he took when he and two other housemates climbed the big mountain behind our house. From what I've been told it's a very scary climb - huge spiders, giant ants that attack, and near vertical climbing near the end of the climb. Not sure if that will be part of my agenda as I am deathly afraid of heights. Anthony has even said he would never do that again - it's that dangerous. But it does offer the best view of Rio. I think I'll just catch a cab to the Christ statue an get my good view of Rio that way.

Anyhow, Jeremy asked if I wanted to come along for all you can eat pizza for R$15, 00 (about $8.00 Can). Of course I said yeah. Once everyone was finished we walked off on the same path towards Barra beach. We passed over the overpass (walkway across the freeway) and instead of going straight to the beach took a right and headed down along the free way and made our way to Restaurante Fronteira.

We (Jeremy, Gisele, Nicky, Johnny and I) walked in and were seated immediately. We were each asked what we would like and Jeremy, with help from Gisele, stated that we would like all you can eat pizza and pop. So the waiters dropped by our table and gave us some plates and utensils. I was not sure what we were to do. I viewed a salad bar of some sorts and assumed that was were we were to eat. But I was told that the waiters walk around and with pizzas and just ask random tables if we would like a slice. And it pretty much continues this way throughout your meal. Waiter comes by, you check out the pizza and either take a slice or not. A very unique way to serve all y0u can eat pizza I must say as I was expecting like a buffet or something along those lines. Being served all you can eat pizza by waiters who come around with the pizza as opposed to having to get up each time to a new slice - interesting.

Pizza was very tasty and for the first time ever I've eaten desert pizza. I tried few but only took a picture of the chocolate with strawberries pizza. Mmm, yummy stuff.

My only compliant is that going from eating mostly chicken, rice and beans to pizza was a shock to the system and did not do anything to help with my acid reflux - I sense a rough nights sleep. But so worth it...All you can eat pizza....!
