Brazil -- Sao Paulo

Just a quick post so I can say I blogged from Brazil...yeah, I'm here for business, which means I won't see much outside of conference rooms etc. But I did go to dinner last night and the night before at some wonderful places with wonderful people. I went to one of the Brazilian barbeque places the other night and ate more meat than I ever thought possible in one sitting. Everything was so good -- I even ate a chicken heart. Yum!

The picture here is a shot from the window of my hotel room -- right across the street from the IBM building.

Some observations about my short stay here in Brazil:

• Brazil is way more European than "latin" (My only points of comparison are Mexico and Costa Rica)
  
• Everyone says, "It's your first time to Brazil, you must go to Rio!"
• I need to come back and go to Rio
• The favelas from City of God are real -- they lurk in the distance at every turn
