This is the scene looking down from the window above. Just to the right of the two buses is another wonderful museum of art featuring many Brazilian artist. Jerry is loving these trips. But I think we all do. We usually travel with 2 other couples. Arlan and Sally Woodward, MTC President and Ray and Joanne Linford, MTC and Area Medical Advisor. 
One of the displays inside the language museum. Sister Woodward is to my left in the red blouse.
We are exiting the museum. Directly in front of us is an elevator which takes us 4 stories down beneath the city to the subway station. They call the subway the Metro (accent on the O).
This is one the many connecting tunnels below the city of Sao Paulo. This shot was taken about 3:00 pm. In another hour or so this very spot will have 3 or 4 times more people rushing to catch their train back to their homes. The greater Sao Paulo area is said to have about 18 million people..JPG)
I shouldn't get too far out. These trains come by every 3 to 5 minutes and are often traveling very quickly.
Relatively uncrowded at this time of day
Transfering from the Metro to the bus on the last leg of our return trip to the MTC. The lady facing me is Sister Joanne Linford. She is the wife of the MTC medical Doctor, Ray Linford. There wonderful people are serving their fourth mission. We have grown to love them dearly and will miss them when they return home in September of 2008

Even though we are on the outskirts of the city there are many tall buildings all around us.
This is the "Marginal Tiete". It is a river that almost rings the older sections of the city. The MTC lies outside this older portion of Sao Paulo. Before coming to Brazil we asked our Freind Allen Ostergar how far it was from the MTC to the Temple. He then asked me, "At what time of day?" I didn't fully appreciate what he meant. I do now. You must always remember when the traffic begins to get busy and for how long it will remain so whenever you consider driving any where in Sao Paulo.
