Time to go down to the Alfandega to get the pass for the symposium. So many sketchers queuing inside that we decided to go out and start sketching in the neighborhood.

The first sketch crawl leads to the famous Ponte Dom Luiz. Already so many sketchers there for the group picture of the day! We are about 1000 attendees the the symposium this year!
