Ibirapuera Park


We're on the the tail end of a four day weekend! Even though the weather hasn't been great (which is why we didn't head to the coast in the first place) we've managed to have a good weekend.

Thursday morning we headed to Ibirapuera Park. This park is very well known (probably because it is over 1.6 million square meters) and we'd read and heard lots about it. We were anxious to see what it was all about. We managed to find the park in a timely manner without getting lost-this in and of itself is a major accomplishment. The weather was sunny and cool, and because it was a holiday, the park was packed. After a picnic lunch, we went out exploring.


We saw some baby geese,



a good view of the city,



rusted out playground equipment that was fun nonetheless,

and this cute family.

On Friday, after such an exhausting Paulistinoesque day, we recovered with a few comforts of home...

Starbucks,

pumpkin muffins,

and a trip to Sam's Club!
