Sao Paulo, Brazil tours
Today I visited the Pinoteca de Sao Paulo, which has museums and beautiful gardens. I loved the architecture of the Pinoteca, and the gardens include huge old trees, fountains, statues, gazebos, and a small ancient guardhouse that makes you imagine the past grandeur of this palace. (It must have been a palace of sorts.)
Right across is the Portuguese Language Museum and a real live train station.
There were no signs in English so I missed a lot, but this modern museum looks at how different languages developed.
Then I went to the Liberdade neighborhood where the largest Japanese community outside of Japan has settled. There was a fair near the red arches and lanterns and around a million tourists. I exaggerate but it was extremely crowded. I bought a couple of huge handmade dolls for Christmas gifts, and I got out of there. I discovered that the Se Cathedral was nearby. I visited the Cathedral and decided to return to the hotel.
There are areas in Sao Paulo where you have to watch your phone, purse, etc, and the areas I visited were like that.
Here are some pictures, including some wonderful art at the Pinoteca.
