http://the-small-and-the-tall.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

The Small and the Tall on tour. 13 weeks between San Jose and Rio de Janeiro. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Rio de Janeiro (the city of Wonders). The final of our 13 weeks journey was 4 days in Rio. Aka the city of wonders, or for others the City of God. The first days were quite rainy, but still we managed to get a good view from the famous Christ statue. 15min later we could not see the statue from the foot of it because of the clouds that were blown in. On our last day we went to one of the favela.

http://the-small-and-the-tall.blogspot.com/2009/12/paraty.html

The Small and the Tall on tour. 13 weeks between San Jose and Rio de Janeiro. Thursday, December 17, 2009. After Brasilia we flew to Rio, that first surprised us with massive heat (30 °C and 90% humidity at night) and then with rain. We had a nice time going out with people from the hostel and subsequently seeing the dawn over Copacabana beach, but when we woke up it was raining and it didn't really stop any more, so we made shapes (Lucy this is to you). And we were eating some nice fish. It was the ...

After the gigantism of Sao Paolo, we headed south by bus to Curitiba (aka for the Googlers ` Pedro `s city` btw Pedro says `Hi`). In this peaceful city of 2M inhabitants, we discovered and enjoyed:.

YOu both are loo...

The Small and the Tall on tour: Brasilia

http://the-small-and-the-tall.blogspot.com/2009/12/brasilia.html

The Small and the Tall on tour. 13 weeks between San Jose and Rio de Janeiro. Sunday, December 13, 2009. After the touristy Igassu falls, it was time to go to a far less visited destination: the capital of Brazil. But we more or less knew what to expect and we found it fascinating: Traveling around the city made us feel like an old science fiction movie. Especially that the city has many very cool buildings designed by Niemeyer. And his peer architects. Very suprising fact is that waiters are tend to `ti...

http://the-small-and-the-tall.blogspot.com/2009/12/sao-paulo.html

The Small and the Tall on tour. 13 weeks between San Jose and Rio de Janeiro. Monday, December 7, 2009. Our start in Brazil was not easy: it was really hard to book a hotel in Sao Paulo, first me and then Amélie had a nice stomach bug, the weather was not too warm and it was raining cats and dogs in the afternoons. For the rest of Sao Paulo we only saw the Sé cathedral and the excellent MASP. This also marked our first encounter with Oscar Niemeyer. September 17, 2012 at 1:46 AM. August 1, 2014 at 5:42 AM.
