Alright, Friday night in Sao Paulo, the 3rd largest city in the world! Quick catch-up: Made it through the "day after" of the awful taxi ride back, got up early yesterday for an awesome run at daybreak in the local park, decent breakfast because the only hotel food I am eating is fresh fruit combined with my own granola. You cannot believe the eggs served in the buffet: it brings reality to "green eggs and ...". OMG, the absolutely worst concoction I have ever seen that was called "eggs".

Last night, one of my "host" families invited us American visitors into his home for dinner. This was such a real treat to be welcomed in this manner. It turns out that one of our locals lives a few meters from another local work family and they joined us as well. This was really a great evening.

Local living: we were the guests of a very, very nice in-town home / apartment. The total living area was about 100 sq meters - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, etc. High rise building, about 4 units per floor. And a little pricey!


It was such an honor and privilege to invited into the home of our fellow blue-bloods! As I have said before, the Brazilians are such kind and generous people. Thanks so very much to my hosts!

OK, a couple of photos. First is a continuation. This one is another (laughable) shot of the security entrance into the bunker (and those folks in the pic are my teammates)



Next is shot from the office window at "my company" office. There is that dang obelisk thingy again...



And one more "dig" into the slum where the customer places us. In the security center where we get our daily badges, here are the instructions for the "motoboys", which in the USA, we call "bike couriers". Different animals, different steeds!

Stay tuned the next couple of days as I go "tourist" again with some very awesome and dear friend(s).
