Luz Station


Estação de Luz

“Life is either a great adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller

I’m pretty thankful for one of the classes that I’m taking this semester on Brazilian Culture. My teacher has provided a list of different things that are a “must see” here in São Paulo. Last week Adriel and I had the opportunity to do something we probably never would have done if not for the list from our teacher. A place we had to visit was the famous Estação de Luz (Light Station). The Estação de Luz is the oldest and biggest train station within São Paulo. Dating back from the late 19th century, the station was considered the entrance to the city. The station itself has a magically feel to it with trains coming in from all over the country with all kinds of different people. Never mind, the magically feeling comes because it reminds me of Harry Potter.

Just outside the station is a beautiful park. Adriel and I challenged each other to see who could take the most creative pictures. There were interesting things all over the park and we became bolder and bolder until the security guards in the park yelled at us . . . twice. I guess that grass is not something you walk on here. Good thing nobody saw me climbing the tree.
