no records but highly recommend these couple of things in sau paulo and rio as well as just getting out on the street and walking (especially sau paulo - what a place!)

1. oscar nieymeyer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Niemeyer
plenty in both cities to see - the copan building in SP is incredible.
highly recommend a quick trip to brazilia - mind blowing stuff there.

2. roberto burle marxe - every garden I saw was worth the trip, his drawings and their translation onto the paving at copacabana! get a spot high up in one of the hotels and just stare down at it for an hour.

3. http://www.mam.org.br/

4. http://masp.uol.com.br/ - and the garden across the street (the playground in the center is amazing, spent most of my time at the playgrounds of SP with my then 2.5 year old daughter). the building is
by an incredible woman whose name escapes me at the moment.

got it - lina bo bardi - http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/research/...sta_meyer.html

5. paulo mendes da rocha - the museum of sculpture in SP
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_A...endes_da_Rocha
yummy place.

could go on and on and you only have a small time - miss the return flight, you'll be very happy. to me sau paulo was an incredible place and rio was one of the most magical landscapes ever. enjoy and do tell what your glass eye sees.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]it's almost winter
flowers-spring petals
longing for a glimpse of sunray
cocooning
some hiding
underneath that big rock

over there

as the irishman sang:
don't let spirit die
never let spirit die

sometimes it's hard though
to not give up
to not let go

<3 you lots lots[/COLOR]

I've been having a lot of trouble accessing them recently. I can get it on IE at school but nowhere else. I was assuming this was Karl's reference.
