Amazing, friendly, immense, warm, colorful: these are the adjectives coming to my mind when I think of São Paulo. The 5 days I spent there were incredible as the pictures from my previous post demonstrate. The hosts of the conference I attended were really generous and gave us a ride every time we needed one (to the University of São Paulo from our hotel, to the restaurant for lunch from the university, to a bar to celebrate the conclusion of the conference, and so on). As I mentioned before, on Wednesday we visited Santos, a city next to the beach where I saw one of the most beautiful twilights in my life:
