For the last day in São Palo I decide to take the day off. Since our schedule was packed so tight that we didn’t have a full day off in São Palo I decided to request a break on this day. Nicole, Jason, and I wandered the city for a while and then Nicole and I found a park that looked like the rain forest itself. It was a good opportunity to relax and reflect.
