A Look in the Mirror

Also because Devon said it would be diggity to go visit! Well, exciting to be sure and the word is that the city is quite charming. Back in Sao Paulo for a few days, rain is threatening to crack the simmering humidity but has so far withheld its splashing water so the air hugs us tight.
