Sue's Brazil trip
No "Deer crossing" signs in Brazil. "Capybara crossing" They're a real danger. A full grown one can reach about 150 pounds. They're only 2 feet tall, but hitting one at high speed would be a very bad day.
A local park. A seat carved into a fallen tree.
The cat cafe. To play with the cats was an additional charge, so they just had drinks, and watched the cats in a separate room.
This drink tasted like sweet corn, and was quite good.
A very hot day in the park. Temps were reaching 100!
The Statue of Liberty along the road. Why?
How to get your shopping cart upstairs in a two story grocery store. You ride up with your cart, which is held in place with magnets.
A performance at a local community center. Quite enjoyable, even if it was all in Portuguese.
The view from the hotel room. On the other side of the hotel is a very busy, interstate-like road. This a major, metropolitan city. Roughly the size of Washington DC, but with skyscrapers.
This Burger King only sells ice cream, and a few other small items.
Recycling bins.
Metso time capsule, to be opened in 2049.
Some art in the park.
The Metso museum.
The pin commemorating 100 years of operation in Brazil.
A local looking for lunch.
A hot and humid walk in the park.
Fresh squeezed cane with coconut and lemon juice. Good stuff!
This is may be the local library.
The place to be on a hot day!
