Parque Ibirapuera
"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." - Abraham Lincoln
Every great city needs a gigantic park within the city
limits. These parks are a sanctuary from the everyday busy life of the city. New
York has Central Park, Mexico City has Chapultepec Park, Chicago has Lincoln
Park, Tokyo has Ueno Park, and São Paulo has Ibirapuera Park.
A group of us consisting of Flavio Freire (a friend from the
mission), Bruno Perez (His friend from Espírito Santo), Adriel and I decided to
venture out and visit the great Ibirapuera Park. It seemed like a good idea
when we first boarded the bus, but soon one of those famous tropical storms
came out of nowhere. We left the bus and ran toward cover to wait out the
storm. Luckily after about twenty minutes of telling jokes, getting wet, and
waiting, the rain stopped enough to explore.
Our first stop was a bike rental shop. After renting bikes,
we were off to try and find the coolest places within the park. The park is
full of monuments, statues, and museums so we had no problem filling our time. We
still were rained after getting the bikes, but not enough to stop us!
