Um Parque com Ginasio

  For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well.

  It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly. 

  There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visited. That being said, I haven't felt unsafe or harassed yet. I will say that I have never been cat-called so much in my life lol - by women and men! 

  It was a hot day today. It reached 88 degrees and with the humidity it felt more like 98. It's hard to eat much in this weather, mostly just drinking lots of water to make up for everything I'm sweating out while walking around. Not sure if I'll try to do anything this evening or not, but it has been a good day :)
