Sao Paulo

I gave a talk at the HIV Pathogenesis course at the University of Sao Paulo.  Over the weekend we "went to the beach" along the atlantic coast.  I stayed in a beautiful villa in the coastal rainforest.  Got to see wild toucans from the deck.


This is a picture of the deck.  It rained most of Saturday.  I guess thats why they call it a rainforest.


The view from the deck.


On Saturday, during a break in the rain, we took a lovely walk along the beach and swam in the ocean.


On Sunday we took a hike in the rainforest.


Even with the ominous clouds, the beaches were beautiful.


So dense and green.  This is our host Jorge.  


Nice falls along the hike.


Also had a couple of nice cigars.  Jorge's smile says it all.


It an unexpected treat, I was able to attend a laproscopic surgery for endometriosis.  Fascinating and educational.
