7/15

 Welcome back everyone for the third blog post of the day. Today was another good one – I just got back from Marco’s birthday dinner. I ordered an Old Fashioned and a glass of red wine with my pizza. My server poured me to the brim.

Today started off with class, where we learned about chemical processes with multiple reactions and material balances for multiple units with reactive processes. It sounds really complicated, but it’s a math puzzle. After class, we headed back to the hostel, and Zaen and I grabbed a quick snack at the bakery before heading out to the Municipal Market of Sao Paolo.

Market

It was super cool – there was so much to take in. It was similar to the other food markets that we have been to before, with food, drinks, food, fish, etc. We sampled a bunch of different kinds of fruit and nuts. Honestly the best fruit I have ever had. We got lunch at the market, and I devoured a beast of a steak sandwich. It was mammoth. From there, we visited one of the oldest churches in Sao Paolo. It was absolutely beautiful.

After that, we visited the oldest theatre in Sao Paolo. Also very beautiful.

When we got back to the hostel, I went with some people to drop off some laundry at a laundromat. From there, we went to a streetwear store, and I got a cool shirt for real cheap. Finally, when we got back, I showered and got ready for Marco’s birthday dinner. We went to a nice pizza restaurant and had a good time. Now, we are about to have some cake and go out for some drinks for Marco. Strap in for tomorrow!
