São Paulo

We arrived to São Paulo a couple days ago and are staying with my friend Orlando, who I met in Peru last summer. We have been sleeping all the time, mostly being lazy, resting from travelling. Its really nice. We went out to a techno dance club unitl 5 am on Saturday night, so crazy. I can read most Portuguese because it is similar to written Spanish, but understanding people speaking is very difficult. It is nice being with Orlando because he can talk for us and keep us from getting robbed or something. Last night we drove all over Sao Paulo and stopped at a June Party. This is a thing that the Catholic church does during the month of June. Local food, drink, and tasty desserts. We met some people, I tried to talk in Portuguese with only some success and filled myself with delicious food. We had steak on a stick, sweet rice milk, some tapioca thing with coconut inside. You pay for plastic chips beforehand and then give those to the vendors to get the food. It was really interesting. We will go to Rio in the morning. I hope we stay safe.
