Sao Paulo!!

I had a great and easy flight into Sao Paulo, Eduardo met me at the airport, and I immediatly changed into shorts and a tank top...it was about 80 degrees at 8:30 in the morning and a beautiful sunny day. Lots of traffic as people were going to the beach for the new years holiday, we orig planned to do that but since we are going to be away the following 2 weekends we decided to stay here and leave for the beach tomorrow.

We spent yesterday afternoon riding around São Paulo in Eduardo´s blue peugeot. It´s a very groovy car, and of course he really knows his way around, being a native Paulista.

It is a beautiful city with all kinds of great architecture, parts of the downtown area remind me of a taller miami, with lots of great 50´s and 60´s architecture and, yes Niemeyer's great curving building.

We drove around for hours and had a blast, Eduardo is a really good host and he loves his city very much. After a while we stopped at a beachfront type bar that looked out onto a sidewalk and had a big plate of fried steak and capirinhas, it was a great lively place with the tables 3 deep on the sidewalk...nice warm breeze on us...heavenly!
