São Paulo, Brazil

June 6th, São Paulo Day 1

The Dins started off their stay in Jardins, São Paulo with a busy day! Some rose early for breakfast at a nearby cafe, which quickly became a favorite spot for many. Then, the Dins rode to St. Paul’s, a nearby British school, to do a singing workshop with kids ages 6-9, a performance for students, and a college information session with some of the older students and their parents. The homemade Brigadeiros provided by the parents were a big hit! The Dins then headed off to another performance in a beautiful space overlooking the city (see photos). The evening was spent enjoying dinner at Baretto, a famous jazz bar.

June 7th, São Paulo Day 2

The Dins enjoyed a relaxed morning, rising late and having a slow lunch at our new favorite cafe in Jardin. Some Dins headed to Ibirapuera Park, a beautiful urban park filled with food stands, trees, museums, and art. In the evening, the Dins were honored to perform at Baretto jazz club.

June 8th, Travel Day

Immediately following the Baretto performance, the Dins leapt into Ubers and headed to the GRU airport to board a 12 hour red-eye flight to Frankfurt. Landing at 4:40pm (Central European Time), Dins caught a train (well … a few trains and two buses) to Switzerland, arriving in Aarau around 2:30am. After around 48 hours of consecutive travel, the Dins were warmly welcomed with snacks and comfortable beds by our incredible Switzerland host.
