Nick's 2008 Brazil Trip

In and around Brazil

In July 2008 had a chance to see Brazil for the second time. Last time was Rio in the 1980's with Cinda.  This time solo in the north in the State of Para. It will be a 10 day swing with a little business and hopefully a nice getaway vacation. 

Here is my story as it unfolds.
