Sao Paulo sublime

So... I feel rather sheepish that me and Dani started this and then, nothing from me at all. A forlorn abandoned idea. The truth is, I couldn't figure out how to sign in with gmail not googlemail for a good month. Banal but true.



The work part of the trip




Getting to see Dani and Leon in their town was such a thrill. I felt like that kid who gets taken out of class early on Friday to go for iceskating lessons or skiing at Lake Tahoe. They are already giving off a parent feeling!



We went to a trendy place for dinner.





morning at Dani's









Wouldn't this be a good color scheme to base a living room or a bedroom?



The Testaccio of Sao Paulo (Dani's old neighborhood, villa Madelena) -- Akif this area is very you



Saturdays you can have fejoida



There were musicians and they gave us a CD



We thought we should do something cultural so we went to the modern art museum.



I don't have enough photographs (or blogging stamina) to do their generosity justice, but Dani and Leon drove me to the airport and took me through the neighborhoods for an off the scenes tour. We had a midnight mango snack and did a photoshoot of Dani's belly (where are those photos?). I really fell in love with Sao Paulo, but maybe that is only because I was so exhilerated and joyful to spend the weekend with the two of you. Thank you!
