Week 3 – Saturday: The students enjoyed sleeping in (just a little) and we set out for the zoo. It was a gorgeous day and everyone was excited. Sao Paulo Zoo is neat because the animals are so much closer to you in their habitat. This year my observation was that quite a few of the animals were sleeping, so there was less activity than in years past. The students still had a great time.
From the zoo we went to the Museu do Ipirango which is Brazil’s Museum of Independence. It started raining as we got off the bus so we went directly into the building. No pictures were allowed. Brazil’s history of their independence is interesting and even though everything wa
s in Portuguese the students were able to integrate many things from class. By the time we completed the inside it had stopped raining so we then visited the gardens outside of the museum and the statue built in remembrance of Brazil’s Independence Day. A very interesting statue with intricate carvings. We ate dinner at the largest mall in Sao Paulo and then to a local night spot for dancing and socializing.
