A Simple Excursion

Adventure of Rua Santa Vigenia

“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.” - William Feather

After the disappointment of the Xingy Lingy, our internet problem was still not fixed. It called for an adventure across town. Adriel and I had been hearing rumors about a place across town about a Disneyland for electronic sales. It’s called Rua Santa Vigenia. A whole road dedicated to side shops and stands where we would be able to find a cheap wireless router.

We hopped on a bus and headed off across town. We only knew that we had to go to the last stop, so after getting off the bus we had to ask for directions. I don’t know why, but we had people sending us all over. After a couple of wrong turns, we arrived.

 There were many cool looking buildings. The architecture stretched from modern looking embassies to old cathedrals. We also visited the Praça da Republica which is famous park in São Paulo. We managed to work our way through the stands and find our router. We decided to top the day off with an awesome Churrascaria. Then we took the subway back home.

Overall, it was good excursion into the big city and I can already tell my Portuguese is getting better.
