Brazilian Bus Adventures

Enjoying the hospitality of Josh, we decided to stay another nigh in Sao Paulo. With an extra day, we headed for Embu-- a former artist colony on the outskirts of the city.

Armed with directions from Josh we set out to the bus station. 10 minutes into our attempt we were closer to being lost than anything else. Thankfully Brazilian kindness pulled through and with #1 Helpful Brazilian Stranger told us the name of the bus to catch, #2 HBS wrote down in Portuguese how to ask for our connection #3 HBS was the money taker on the bus and got off and pointed us in the right direction for the connection.

Once we got to the town, it was lovely.


Filled with nice handicrafts and things for my one day home...

Then it was #4 HBS who told us where to catch the bus, #5 helped us catch the other and one more #6 was the driver of the bus who helped us transfer to our last bus of the day.

Those who have heard of our Mexican bus trips know that we often wind up relying on helpful strangers to guide us through our misadventures, thankfully Brazil seems to be fully stocked.
