  1. Scenes from a Brazilian May

    Wednesday, June 23, 2010

    I love how blogger always loads my photos in reverse order. Anyway, below are just a few of the shots I took during my time in Brazil. There are many more on the blog my Team Leader, Doug, coordinated. The link for that is included in the sidebar to the right. I encourage you to look through and read through that blog for many more details!

    The iconic tree of Curitiba.

    Iguazu Falls. See the video below of the 275 falls that go on forever at the confluence of 2 rivers in 3 countries: Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.




    Downtown Morrettes, a sleepy town on the coast of southern Brazil in the state of Parana.

    Traditional Portuguese architecture in Morrettes.

    The pier in Morrettes.

    View of Tangui Park from the top of the waterfall in Curitiba.


    The Wire Opera house, which was constructed on the site of a former quarry. Redevelopment of public spaces at its best.


    Riding the city's tourist line with my teammates and team leader.

    The remains of yet another full course meal at a huge Italian restaurant in the Santa Felicidades area of Curitiba.

    Brazilian BBQ friends.

    The regional elections tribunal. In Brazil, each citizen of voting age is REQUIRED by law to vote or face a fine. Brazil was the first country to have a reliable electronic voting system...even before the infamous "hanging chad".


    My generous guides and translators in the City of Pinnhais.

    The magnificently manicured grounds of the Botanical Gardens in Curitiba.

    The green house at the Botanical Gardens.

    View of the City of Curitiba from the panoramic viewing deck of the Oi Cellular tower.
