Curitiba: Day One

It struck me after two days: Curitiba is basically a slightly latinised version of Toronto: wide avenues, trees, a public transit system that works and that people use, a mix of houses and apartment buildings, and people walking around on the streets - even past dark....

One residential neighbourhood reminded me of Beaconsfield in Montréal; big houses, lawns (!), sidewalks, trees. Why Beaconsfield? Not sure - but it definitely reminded me of it over other Montréal suburbs.

Highlights of Day 1 include:

Street Fair - Bundled up for the cold!


Botanical Gardens



The Oscar Niemeyer Museum



The Wire Opera House - trés cool
