Hola! Today started out on a good note because everyone got to sleep in! While some of us laid around, or went to get Starbucks, Jackie and Lynn went to a Gay Pride parade! It was the world’s largest gay parade, with one to three million people in it! They took some very interesting pictures, and had a blast.
After our relaxing morning we went to the Japanese Street Market. It was a giant blocked off area with a ton of little vendors. They were selling everything from jerseys, to bracelets, and even food. We all tried something new for lunch. There was shrimp on sticks, fried meats, and fried ice cream! We all had a great time and left with a souvenir.
Immediately after the market, we got on the bus to head to the soccer game. The weather was beautiful and the atmosphere was awesome. There was one fan section diagonally above us that stood the entire game and never once stopped chanting or yelling. We also made a little friend at the game that brought us treats and helped us learn their cheers and chants. He was fluent in both English and Portuguese so he could translate what the fans were saying and learn the player’s names. We were all cheering for Sao Paulo’s club team, whose colors were black, red, and white. Sao Paulo won the game three to one. After the game, most of us bought some Sao Paulo or Brazil jerseys that were super cheap.
For supper we went to a mall that we had visited a couple of days ago to eat. We ate at this Texas buffet that was super good. After a little ice cream for dessert, we headed back to the hotel! And...Happy Birthday Steve!
