We love Sao Paulo


A huge meat dinner with our first Servas host, Juba, and Audrey (that's right, Alisa and Tessa both ate millions of different kinds of meat - we are really pushing ourselves). Juba might be the kindest host anyone has ever encountered. On our first night, we locked him out of his own apartment and he graciously dismissed it as a learning experience. Incredible.

A spontaneous street encounter led to a delicious pizza dinner and rousing conversation (their treat!). Andrea, Davi, and Paulo.

Our first acai bowls! Thanks, Gabe and Lily!

Our future career. In Brazilian Walmarts employees wear roller blades. What more could you ask for?

A business card making party that produced some truly beautiful works of art.

O mundo esta ficando melhor = The world is getting better. One business card at a time.

women,

i have to say that you could really spice up this blog a bit. i know you're both shy, but try to get out there and meet some new people, make some new friends. live a little! seriously...

also we are now in a love/hate relationship because i love you for this trip and this blog and yourselves, but i hate you because you're far from me having amazing adventures and i'm jealous. i don't really hate you. but i am really jealous.

much love

mia

ps if i ever get my act together and do a big trip, i'm borrowing your business card idea. what a good way to keep in touch with people you meet along the way!
