The month of May is a month of IGCSEs for Louissa. We have made six trips into São Paulo for her to sit her exams in Portuguese, English Language and English Literature. There are seven papers in all, so just one to go!

Lou is taking the exams at St Francis College in the Pinheiros district of the city. It's an English language school, that offers IGCSE and Baccalaureate curricula.

| Nearly Time .. |
All but one of the exams are in the morning at around 8am so we have to take a bus to São Paulo the evening before, stay with relatives, and then get the Metro at 6.30am to get to the school on time. It's nice to have a game of sardines just after breakfast ...

| Inside the Yellow Train |
We use three different Metro Lines - the Yellow one pictured is the least crowded - even bearable in rush hour. As the exams are fairly early in the morning, we usually get home around lunch time.
