MASP and more!

Today was awesome. It was warm and sunny and overall really nice. I was locked out of the office again… which sucks, but I found an @er quickly and he let me in. I decided today I was not going to do computer work, even though there was some stuff on the computer I needed to do. Instead, I made a World Cup pool! I stuck some sheets of paper together with tape and wrote out each of the groups and spaces for everyone to predict the rankings in each group. Then I will assign points for every correct ranking, with a prize for the winner. I am going to do another one for the round of 16 once the preliminaries are over. I think it should be fun. I drew some soccer balls (ahh, they are really hard to draw!) and stuck them up around the chart. I also made an activity list with some suggestions and put it on the wall.

Take the challenge!

Then I had a really awesome meeting with Renata. She is doing some case studies for the infrastructure task force and I showed her how to find the resources she needs and how to do everything. And she was really excited about it. Plus, today she found out that she is going to Mexico in July for a CEED!! It’s so exciting, I’m very happy for her. After that, I had a really good chat with Super and Rubens about Pboxes and LC direction. Then Super and I went to another bandejon (the cheap cafeteria) and then caught the bus downtown to Paulista Ave.

ahhhh, Paulista

We walked down Paulista Ave, which is the business centre of Latin America, and headed to MASP, which would be translated as the Art Museum of Sao Paulo. There was a show all about Edgar Degas, who I had never heard of but he’s not bad. They also had some really famous stuff there. I saw Picasso and Van Gogh and Renoir and a bunch of other really well known art. Plus, they had a HUGE bust of Augustus. Ahhh, I love Roman art. It’s so powerful. So we wandered around the museum for a few hours and then headed back out to Paulista.

OK, so I didn't actually take this picture.. It's MASP

We walked down the rest of the avenue and the Super went to go buy a new cell phone and I headed home on the subway. I finally went to what I call the chocolate subway station (Brigadeiro ststaion)

It was really nice to get out of the office, even if I did have stuff to do :P I still have to work some more on my travel plans, but I can’t do anything until I get replies to some emails.

I have two important meetings tomorrow, one for the education learning circle and one for the infrastructure task force. Then Friday should be interesting. I am supposed to be in two places at once to I’ll have to figure that out.

I made sure today to take some pictures! I hope you like them.

Gearing up for World Cup!
