This weekend, I experienced the metro for the first time. Craig and I went on a little ride to another part of the city. It was actually pretty fun! It turns out the ride on the subway is a hundred times smoother than the crazy busses in the city. But, they are both pretty exciting.
While we were walking back to our apartment after the metro, we passed by a construction zone. Instead of just plain walls that separated the sidewalk from the construction project, the walls were covered with paintings of people! And instead of faces, mirrors! I guess this is where people go if they want to pretend to be someone else. We decided these people were probably the closest to us, since Craig is black, and my hair is long.
This is the building that Craig works in. It is a super nice building, located in a really nice part of town. The grounds around it are beautiful, even with fountains that run during the week.
This is the Av. Paulista (a big road right by our apartment). At one time, this road was called the "Wall Street of Brazil," but the big financial disricts have since moved down to another place (where Craig works now).
This is for Mitch...it comes in 2.5 liter bottles! Next week...3 liters.
This looks like quite an adventure! Becca, you are so brave--it looks scary too...being in a huge city where no one speaks your language. Have a blast!
