These past few days in São Paulo have been so fun! I’ve just been wandering around, exploring the city and ducking my nose into museums and shops. Yesterday I walked from Erin’s apartment to the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (quite the hike) and had the strangest experience; one second I was walking along an extremely busy street and the next thing I knew I was practically in a jungle. We’re talking full on exotic plants and trees and strange animal sounds coming from every corner of the “jungle” and then poof! I was at the museum…Brazil definitely sneak attacks you with nature. Although the Museu de Arte de São Paulo was small in size, it definitely had some incredible pieces of art including some Manet’s and Modigliani’s that I’ve never seen. After that I walked around a ritzy shopping street and treated myself to a brownie and a cappuccino. After not traveling to an unfamiliar country for so long, I’d forgotten how much I enjoy the lonely independence of exploring a city by myself.
