Day 2: Giant Rats (GREAT VIDEO AT END!)

Tourist Day
Early start and a run up to Parque Barigui. Great running area with a few capivaras (giant rats). Afternoon spent at a market in the old town centre, possibly called the Sao Francisco neighbourhood - I really have to get a map.

Following up the comments I made yesterday about my doubts about the public spending on the World Cup, I received a great article from Duncan (my partner on the train ride yesterday). The link is here and the photo below is from the article. Here's another link to Duncan's blog.



And finally, again I forgot to take my camera with me today, but this is a link to a video of the capivaras in Pargue Barigui.
