You speak Portuguese!!!! Where did you learn it?
I used to work there with diamonds and some colored stones
Alluvial mining in Boa Vista and Piaui and extreme western Bahia and some in Mato Grosso
Spent a fair amount of time in Minas too
As well as Rio and Buzios for fun
São Paulo and Belo for business like equipment etc.....Guaymas and Santos
I spent combined broken up a few years there in the 80s
My ex wife was a Carioca model who did commercials and ran with Luisa Brunet and Maite Proenca......arty Globo folks
My daughters still have Brasilian passports but live near me in middle TN
I liked Brasil....of course the women and it was still Wild West more then in the boonies where I was
But I saw demographic and dependency issues which troubled me for the country which I loved actually
In a perfect world a ranch in Rio Grande do Sul or Santa Catarina but not too far from beaches would be cool
Or near Campos do Jordan for climate
Rio is hot hot hot
We kept a rental first at Lagoa then later up the Sao Conrado road above Barra
I have not been to Brasil since 90
But my girls have....they Facebook their cousins down there daily
My ex is in Pacific Northwest on esposo 4
My sogro(?) is in Angra dos Reis....still kicking at 85.....he was a tough guy
A dono do bicho and other endeavors.......very connected back in the junta days
Anyhow
Onde voce viva?
