Teacherinegypt: End of Third Week in Sao Paulo

Weather is wonderful, warm feet but no AC needed for me. I’m in Sao Paulo and finishing off my third week here. I have moved every week and ready to move again Saturday. The schools are wonderful with so many caring teachers. I really enjoy working with them. Last Thursday I went out with some friends to Bourbon Street a club with the New Orleans’s theme. A great evening but going to bed at 2 and waking up again at 5:30 is rough, then staying alert all the next day takes effort and no sitting for long. That weekend I went on Saturday with another friend to the beach at Riveria De Laurenzo. A beautiful beach, the water was lovely even if it was raining. The drive there was through a mountain with a beautiful rain forest with trees with so many colours of flowers and so many types of foliage. Still didn’t see a monkey! On Sunday I took the subway and explored Liberdade the Oriental sector and went to the market there. I also saw a huge, huge cathedral in that area. The metro is a great way to get around.

I’m in a new area, moved from near Paulista to Pacaembu. Pacembu is a nice area with high buildings but still some lower level homes. The school here is an old Spanish house and is beautiful Wish I could have seen it furnished as a house. My hotel is a residence hotel with flats, it is 24 stories I think. Tuesday I came down with food poisoning. Felt quite yucky for 24 hours but I’m as good as new today (Thursday).

Saturday I fly out to Rio and spend a week there at a school very close to the beach, I’m holing I can walk the beach to school. They say it is an excellent area. Then the next week its off to the North and Campina Grande.
