A quick summary of yesterday and today so far before I nap before the wedding tonight.
Yesterday was a peaceful day. Jesse and I walked woth Thomas ' s opa for an hour or so. We weren't quite sure what we were in for since there is a language barrier since his opa speaks only a little German and Portuguese. Plus, we were told his opa has alzeihmers and we weren't exactly sure how bad it was and if we should be finding our way back safely. We did.
It's quite sad Thomas told us that his grandpa often gets robbed as he doesn't do online banking and thief's target the elderly. It made my heart hurt to hear that because he is the dearest man and always has a smile on his face.
Most of the rest of the day we either watched the world cup or were planning the next leg of our trip. Sadly, we have decided not to go to Iguassu falls as it is very expensive and we would only have 24 hours there before we would have to be in Bolivia to meet Sidney. Instead tomorrow afternoon we will fly to La paz and spend a few days adjusting to the altitude and doing adventures around there before we meet Sidney. I think Jesse and I are happy with our plan.
In the evening we went to the Super market and got fruits that we don't have in Canada so we could try them. Mostly, they were all quite good. One the cashew fruit was quite gross in my opinion although Jesse ate the whole thing.
This morning we drove around Sao Paulo and got the full tour!! It is quite a different city first off it is massive. It has 25 million people and is 74 x 50 km. I am pretty sure it could eat Vancouver if it was a animal. Secondly there is a huge range of economic class. There will be a massive house or very nice apartment then not even a block away there are slums and it is like this all around the city.
We also went to the institute butantan. It is a famous snake museum and research institute. They have the only hospital in the world that specializes in venomous bites and they research antivenom. It was very interesting.
Tonight we will go to the ceremony which starts at 7 and then the party for the wedding after which apparently lasts until 5 am. That should be interesting for me lol.
