Our first day at Jaboticabal

So today we met the Mayor Jose Carlos Hori in the lovely City of Jaboticabal. For me the most attractive City so far. Lots of old buildings and parks. The City has a population of 74,000 which 10,000 of these are students. Their main industry is peanuts and sugar cane. The Mayor's focus initially was creating structure within the council and motivating the employees to work more passionately for the city. His focus when elected was on the social issues and he is currently working on the storm-water network. He seems well liked by the people and is expected to be re-elected next term
