Boa Tarde de Brasil!

Hey everyone! Good afternoon from Brazil! I'm here safe and sound in Sao Paulo. The trip could not have gone more smoothly. I'm all checked in to my hotel, the Paulista Wall Street Suites....think outdated Marriott Suites for a mental picture. It is comfortable, though, and in a nice neighborhood.


I just got back from wandering Avenida Paulista for a while. That is the main thoroughfare through Sao Paulo, and there were thousands of people out walking, checking out the street vendors or the antiques fair. Sao Paulo is a HUGE city of over 17 million people. What I've seen so far is lots of concrete, cars and people. Its not the cleanest city. I'm looking forward to laying out my plan of attack tonight and then diving in tomorrow. After 4 days of standing on my feet at KBIS and then a 10.5 hour flight last night my legs are a bit tired. I'm looking forward to lounging a bit tonight.


I'll be checking my work, school, and Yahoo! emails while travelling, so feel free to write. I won't respond as quickly as normal, but will respond at some point. I hope everyone is well, and I'll see you all soon.
