  Brazil - Impressions

The scenery - stand in one spot and it is mountains/rural outlook - the other direction, entirely urban!

Garfield

"I think, therefore I exist"

The very sophisticated sewer system: "You drop your camera in there, and it can stay there!"

The Post Office, where we spent many an hour buying stamps for all those letters home!

When I went to get my visa renewed, we parked on this street. As far as the eye can see in either direction there are wedding shops (with assistants in each one trying to sell you lovely 'merangue' dresses)!

Look out for the cockroaches, rats, etc...

The supermarket, piled high with rice and beans (and popcorn!)

10000 Dex Mil Cruseiros

The currency was in hyper-inflation. Keep money in dollars and change it every day otherwise you would lose out. This was probably worth about 1/2p by the time I left!
