On Sunday, our team took a wonderful tour through Sao Paolo, exploring the various parts of this large & beautiful city. Augusto Scorza, a Rotarian from the Campinas Sul Club & his wife, Lucia, were our wonderful guides. It was such a treat to see the city through their eyes. They were true experts in navigating the city´s winding streets & numerous turn-abouts. The city is bursting with activity & we passed many lush parks & outdoor mercados along the way. We also learned some new & interesting facts about Sao Paolo. For instance, unlike other major Brazilian cities that grew after the creation of a shipping port, Sao Paolo grew from the creation of a Jesuit school established to education local indigenous people.
We ended the day with a lovely Brazilian lunch buffet & tried so many new treats Brazilian food is incredible & so fresh. Below are some photos of this fantastic city.
After a 1.5 hour drive back to Campinas, it was a delight to share a quiet dinner in with my host family, Takuo & Yaeko Hashizume. They are such an incredible couple, I truly hit the jackpot!
