Brazil

Mark was looking at accepting a job in Sao Paulo, Brazil and as we were deciding they flew us down to check everything out. It was a great trip and really helped us to see the area, schools and the cost of living, which is surprisingly very high. We didn't do a lot of sight-seeing, but I still wanted to include a few fun pictures. We decided not to take the job, but it was still a great experience and we met some wonderful people.




Eating at a famous Churrascaria... meat, meat and more meat. It was exceptional

One of the days while Mark went to the office, Christine and I explored Ibirapuera Park. It is a huge park with playgrounds, walking/running paths and several museums. We went to the Museum of Modern Art, AfroBrazilian Museum, and another one called Bienal that has rotating exhibits. It was fun and educational.

I really liked this mural of a map of thinking. Very interesting.
The art museum had hundreds of dried oranges with letters carved out in them.
Christine loved it!






A wall of portraits. I took a drawing class in the spring and realized how difficult this type of picture is.

This exhibit was just lots of lists. So my life!

In the Afrobrazil museum, a circus.

An Obelisk symbolizing the revolution.

Visiting the central market. Delicious fruits!

It was great to see the girls again! We brought them home some Havaianas flip flops.
