Day 7

Day seven (Sunday)
Today we traveled from Florianópolis to Curitiba. After a 5 hour drive we stopped at the Oscar Niemeyer museum of modern art. Oscar Niemeyer is one of Brazils most famous architects who is known for designing Brazils new Capitol Brasilia. The museum is an awesome structure shaped like an eye elevated above its surroundings. His work is futuristic and strange in a beautiful way. We also got to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit. Over 200 of her personal photographs from her massive collection were displayed. The photos showed Frida at different stages of life along with family, friends, models, lovers and some of her own artwork. Tomorrow we visit the university and travel.
Until then,
Jessica
