Day 2 (Sao Paulo) by Erin Socks

  Sao Paulo, Brazil
Saturday, December 1, 2007

I've attached some pictures of the house we're staying in Sao Paulo (Aunt Rejane's and Alan's home).  It has a beautiful view of the city , or a portion of the city I should say, since Sao Paulo proper has a population of 10 million.  When driving from the airport, we passed miles and miles of buildings.
Alan and Rejane have a beautiful 4-story home , all inclusive with a maid, a cleaning lady, and a guard who watches the homes on this street (all of whom are common employees of the Brazilian middle class).

After lunch, we hit the road with Rejane to Picinguaba (a small fishing village on the Atlantic Ocean between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in which Alan has a beach house).
