Yep, You Guessed it: More Brazil

Yesterday we went to Bavespa (the Brazilian Stock Market) it was very interesting. We also visited the business lobby, for Sao Paulo.
Today the students went with their teams to visit specific companies for their EMBA assignment. So while they did that, I cranked out 22 miles in Ibirpuera Park in 80 degree temps. I'm just now feeling the sunbburn. As we arrived at the Business Lobby, FIESP, I notice this cow out front. These are not as nice as the cows we saw lining the streets in Chicago, but they are colorful.
Here we see my friend, Fernando. He was our local tour guide. He's sort of a scholar, historian, musician and man about town. Great guy and very interesting. Along the way we've had conversations about culture, beer, philosophy (Rosseau, Descartes, Kant etc... - the real kind of philosphy) and futbol.
Of course no trip would be complete with out some good old fashioned antics. This was at a wonderful pizzaria where we unwound after three very packed and stimulating days.
