Ibirapuera Park
Although Sao Paulo is a big, ugly city in many ways, it does have some nice parks. The largest of all parks in the city is Ibirapuera (ee-beera-PWAY-ra). It is an enormous park (which is good since thousands and thousands of people go there every day.) On of the coolest things about the park is that they rent all sorts of bicycles by the hour. We got a bicycle built for two (romantic but uncomfortable) and we saw just about every other kind of bike you can imagine there -- they even had an eight-seater! We had a great day at the park with our picnic lunch. July has turned out to be much warmer this year than last (so I'm told.) We've been enjoying temperatures in July that are very similar to the temperatures in PEI (minus the wind). We have been missing all of our friends back in North America, and we talk often about what we will do next July when we return to see everybody.
