Curitiba

I'm safely in Curitiba! We begin our workshop for the next week today with a lecture from a Brazilian architect so it will be exciting to get into our work!

Curitiba is an amazing city. All of us are already falling in love with it. It is rich and vibrant, but much less overwhelming than Sao Paulo and has a much nicer vibe. Or hotel is amazing. Calvin and I have a mini-flat so to speak, with a very small kitchen (microwave, mini fridge, sink, and hotplate), a living room with couch, a room with our beds, and a balcony.

Spent yesterday on the short flight and then walking around the city. The fillet mignon sandwich was very good; the meat-diet continues. Had some good sides too, fried yucca and farinha. There seems to be a lot to do in our spare time, though I do think we'll be starting a group project that will reduce our ability to explore. There are two mountain ranges nearby which I hope will offer some exciting recreation opportunities.

I'm off to walk around for a bit before our lecture in the afternoon. Pictures will come tonight!
