Sao Paulo 2

We went to a very important soccer game yesterday, two local rivals São Paulo and Corinthians, a rivalry with much animosity and enthusiasm. We only stayed two-thirds of the game to avoid crazy crowds. Then John and Helen took us out for pizza, along with their son-in-law Marco and two adorable granddaughters Silvia (13) and Alice (9) (just Scott and I went to the game), their daughter Christina didn't come. The live a couple hours out of town, Marco owns a hat-making company and I don't know what Christina does. Not to be confused with Jobi's (Helen's brother) daughter, Christina, in Hawaii. Anyway, we've been keeping busy doing little tourist things. Today, if the rain lets up, we'll head into the center to visit with Fabio (the Brazilian we met in Peru). Heluisa let me borrow her bike, so I've been able to ride around the neighborhood in the mornings, though this morning I was soaked. I miss riding my bike, a lot.
