São Paulo Weekend Getaway

We had Friday off of school so we took advantage and spent the long weekend in São Paulo.  It is a huge city and we had a blast exploring it and enjoying the great food, art, and weather.  Friday night we went to the Mercado to explore the goods and eat some pastels. 
 We enjoyed the best shrimp and fish (yuck, they were for Jess) pastels and some drinks.  I actually had a tomato (if you know me you know I hate tomoatoes) Caipirinha, which was delicious. Also, I can't believe it, but we found napkins that are worse than the ones in China. Seriously, think oil bloating papers, they are hard and don't absorb anything.  We went through a million in one meal! 
 
 We spent most of the weekend walking around exploring the city.  We stayed in  the Jardins, which is really nice with lots of little shops and restaurants around it.  All over the area the phone booths were painted differently.  Here are some of our favorites. 
  Jess took a walk around the area and took a bunch of pictures.  I think they turned out great!
All of São Paulo is covered in art. 
It was a great, relaxing weekend in our new city (kinda, only one hour away).
