Hallooooo,
Hope you're all biding fine, and thanks again for the birthday wishes!
I had a lovely birthday weekend, beginning with me dragging Gabi off to Salto to ride an antique train to the next town over (Itu) and back again, which took about 4 hours and was not as glamorous and Orient-Express-y as I was hoping for, but was still a lot of fun. Itu was worth visiting exactly once too - the famous giant payphone was a bit underwhelming (albeit very big), but there was a cool abandoned ceramics factory which we stumbled into by accident.
I feel like it's worth getting to know the area properly and seeing it from different perspectives before writing it off completely and moving back to São Paulo, plus old-timey trains are always good value. Speaking of, we then went straight on to São Paulo for Thiago's birthday party in Pinheiros, which was packed solid, and then on Sunday we had an excellent Argentinian-themed lunch on a Zona Norte rooftop, before heading back out to the styx.
My phrase of the day is "speak of the devil, and its tail appears", which is a more convoluted way of saying the same thing in English; and I've done another mix. Also in talks to launch an online radio show later in the year - watch this space! (nb: I need to learn how it's done from scratch first).
Speak soon!
Fred the Needle
