Pátio do Colêgio

Detoxification

                We recently received notice that we had to leave the house in the afternoon. The Bug Control people were going to “toxify” the place. After a full morning of school work it was welcome news, and we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and visit one of the places on our list. The choice was made to check out the Pátio do Colêgio which is the place where São Paulo was founded. The building is a replica of an old church that was established by the Jesuits in 1554. By the time we arrived the museum had closed but we were able to visit the church which held some interesting treasures including: a leg bone of a Jesuit, old Jesuit robe, documents, and old scriptures. We  were able to visit the Cathedral again and walked around the neighborhood.
