another exciting day today — brasil is much cooler than i had expected. i started off by checking out a small exhibition of saint etienne, then checked out the cool modern art museum in curitiba (oscar niemeyer museum). both had very cool pieces of art…and the latter was housed in a beautiful piece of architecture (designed by mr niemeyer himself).

from there, we stopped by nissan hq again, where i met some more very cool marketing people. they were very enthusiastic about the trip….it sounds like some exciting things might happen.

afterwards, a 5hr drive to sorocaba (outside of sao paulo), where we met up with some folks who were at the pantanal with us. Sol and Lily have a beautiful house and took us out for an awesome evening. Most of the night was spent at a crowded/fun local bar with a very good live band. i didn’t realize that brazilians have a different dance for almost every song….i sorta learned a few of them.

what a fun day!
