Day 19

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

At this point in the trip I stopped journaling, but my pictures reveal that I spent the day in Rio. I took the cable car up Sugarloaf but a hazy day made the view less than stunning -- one could barely see the Christ the Redeemer statue that is so symbolic of this city.

I walked around some, taking in the architecture and I remember going shopping at a great place, where I picked up a basket, a mask, and some small clay figures (which have since broken beyond repair and been discarded).

Day 20

Petropolis, Brazil

my thoughts upon looking at the (very few) pictures I took --

This was a day trip from Rio. A colonial town with canals and magnificent architecture.

Day 21

Buzios, Brazil

Another day trip -- Buzios is a small fishing village but also well known for its beautiful beaches. If I recall correctly, I went on a boat that took us snorkeling.

Day 22

Belo Horizonte, Brazil

A change of transportation here -- I recall Belo Horizonte as being pretty ugly and I feared that Ouro Preto would be the same.

Day 22 (continued)

Ouro Preto, Brazil

Ouro Preto is nothing like Belo Horizonte, but instead just as the guidebook promised. It's charming, which amazing architecture, perched high in the mountains. I found a lovely guest house but arrived sick as a dog -- very sick. I was sure I had malaria.

Day 23

Ouro Preto, Brazil

I recovered and spent the day walking around, taking pictures mostly of all the fountains ... they're everywhere here. Quite lovely. I like this place a lot.

A last night in Rio before heading home.

Welcome to my travels. On this site you'll find recent trips and some very old trips. You'll note that for some trips I wrote very detailed reports (at least in the beginning), for others, I didn't even take notes of where I was on what dates. Nevertheless, I've done my best to document, to...
