We arrived in Sao Paulo the morning of Sunday, March 16. Sao Paulo greeted us with its sunshine and lush vegetation. Upon arrival to our air b&b, we also met Beth, who owns the house where we will be staying.  She made us fresh cheese, a coconut cake and greeted us with a big hug. This warm welcome was much appreciated, especially after surviving an ongoing arctic Chicago winter. Beth also has three dogs--some of us like them more than others. We got ourselves situated, assigned rooms, reviewed our plan for the week and just hung out for a little bit. Several of us had work to wrap up from the quarter end. At night, we bonded over dinner and Caipirinhas. We can't wait for tomorrow when the real adventure begins!

For those not familiar with our project, we are a multidisciplinary team of Northwestern graduate students  utilizing the design process to see how catadores may best be positioned to take advantage of the recently passed National Solid Waste Policy.
