My first full day in the streets

Ok, so yesterday I woke at 7am and decided that it would be a /idea
premiere/ to wander the city with no real destination. I was careful to
ask where I should NOT go but other than that I just wanted to take a
look around. I spent the day walking in my /Haviannas/ (flip flops) and
now my feet are quite sore. I'm learning a TON of Portuguese which of
course is my goal for the trip.

I walked from the apartment in Pinheiros to Parque do Ibirapuera then
decided that I wanted to get sorted on my bus card and mobile phone or
/aparelho. /So I headed to the metro station on Avenida da Paulista or
simply Paulista (which is also the name for someone that lives here in
Ciudade do Sao Paulo) I am now VERY sun burnt, which is odd because I usually don't have a problem with that. At any rate you can see a map of the area by following the link.

Anyway I'm late for another awesome day! It's a holiday today so it will
be quite fun I'm sure!
