Sao Paolo – Alive and Well
Hola a todos!
After a nice jaunt via airplane from North to South America, here I sit in what is a trying-to-be-trendy-internet cafe within the downtown district of Sao Paolo–a veritable jungle of the urban variety.
Following a busride from the international airport into city´s center, my buddy Rory and I explored for a few hours, grabbed some Brazilian grub, and stumbled over oursleves in somewhat broken Portuguese. More of the same is on tap tomorrow, with my first day at the University slated for thursday. Vamos a ver.
Interestingly enough we might score invitations to the International Conference on Environmental Law, which is going to take place here in the city next monday,tues,wednesday. Nothing is certain at this point, but it would be quite nice to rub shoulders with the world´s eco-friendly big whigs.
More to come later …. ciao, for now.

dude, definately take advantage of the INTL ENV LAW conference…tell rory to email hunter…i bet he is coming down…plus I bet you can get some cross field pollination going with the MST…as small land owners are much more environmentally friendly, and practise sustainable development technicques due to ownership.
anyway – party hardy mis amigos
and make note of any delicious drink receipes you imbibe
peace

hey hey Pat…Currently in DC doing some apartment hunting…however, since you’re out traveling the world for the summer – I’m stuck crashing with my random “waiter friend” – it’s be an absolute nightmare!!
Anyway, wishing you happy and safe travels…Trish
