Um novo capítulo se inicia. Um novo amanhecer, um novo dia.. tudo lindo... Que nada! Nesse dia de viagem, São Paulo está fria e chove o dia inteiro. Quer saber de uma coisa? Vamos embora mesmo à procura de um canto mais quente. Desta vez escolhemos traçar novamente o roteiro que aprendemos na escola e voltaremos à epoca dos Grandes Descobrimentos.
