Images of Sao Paulo, Brasil

Walking the streets of Sao Paulo, we saw many new and interesting things.

I LOVE doors!
The city streets of Brasil all have different patterns.
This is a "furry" tree.
Up close, you can see that there is a type of
moss that grows on it.
We at at this bistro, on the second floor.
Here we are enjoying the food and the view.
It was neat to see the sights of the city while eating.
We had lunch with some of Dave's co-workers.

We went to this church. It is the church of
the arch diocese.
Catedral Metropolitana de Sao Paulo This is the outside of the church.

These are some of the buildings right around the church.
Statues of the twelve disciples.
Amazing and beautiful!
The architecture is unbelievable!
The confessional.
Gas- sold in litres.
Beautiful park benches were EVERY WHERE on the streets,
outside of the stores.
Pizza boxes are ROUND!
The view from our hotel room. A lot like
New York City.
This is the flip-flop store. This is a wall with the schedule for
all of the games of the world cup.
The store name is Havaianas. They are
VERY popular in Brasil.
They have flip flops for every country competing in
the World Cup.
See the little stars on the shoes? Each star represents
how many times that country has won the world cup.
Germany has three starts. England has one star.

They had a build a shoe area. You could pick your own
top and bottom colors. (See the pink and yellow?) Then you
could add any jibbet to your shoe.
This is how to tell which size you would wear. All sizes
are in European numbers.
The boys were waiting patiently.
Adding jibbets to my shoes.
I chose a US flag on one shoe, and a Brasil flag on the other.
More benches.
And more doors.
This bench has swans on it. Beautiful!
This bench looks like it used to be in a church.
Many people had dogs. This guy had a ferret.
He sure was a cutie.
Made of iron.
Remember this store?
An interesting sculpture.
It looks like it's made of air conditioning duct work.
