Our group took a day trip to Camburi, a village close to Sao Paulo. The village is constructing, with the help of Dr. Ghavami, a bamboo community center and several other buildings. We observed the structural characteristics of the buildings. Though, we also got to have a lot of fun, taking a night trip to Paraty, a colonial town with structures dating back to the 1800s. It was pretty similar to Williamsburg, VA: very touristy, but peaceful and gorgeous at night :)
