At first we weren't going to visit Sau Paulo. It's a huge city (18+ million people), with no beach...so why bother when it can't come close to the beach and fun of Rio?
But it turns out Dorit has a friend there - a woman who stayed at Dorit's house 30 years ago, during a high school Tapuz trip. And Stav and Noam have a friend there.
So we went...
And it's been fabulous. Parks, museums, great restaurants, fantastic street art, and really really nice people - it's now one of our favorite cities in South America.
Thank goodness we changed our minds!
