Photo update

Farah and I have arrived in Rio. We arrived safely with fewer mishaps than last time. Our hostel is great, it was recommended to us by some Scottish, Irish, and "fake Irish" (i.e. from Northern Ireland) backpackers in Rio who came on the walking tour of Centro with us. This hostel really has a great feel, and is a very social place, there's lots of common area with couches and TVs, and most pleasing to the guests, they serve huge bottles of beer for 3 Reais! Here are some photos from São Paulo with quick captions because I'm really tired. Enjoy...

First some pictures from around Centro:

In front of the Municipal Theatre, a miniature replica of the Paris Opera House by a very prolific Brazilian architect

The Cathedral Sé

Just a street in São Bento

A picture from the metro:

Farah in Estacão Sé (its even bigger than it looks)

And one for the Escher fans:


Boa Noite!

Hey Kalim,
