Brasil has truly taken my heart captive.  The sights, smells, and sounds of the busy city of Belo Horizonte seem so familiar now.  How does one begin to put down on paper all the emotions experienced in a short 3 week visit?

ANDREI - A shame we had to spend Kerry´s birthday here.  At least we went to the Zoo! KERRY - There really is not a lot i can say about Belo Horizonte apart from there is no need to go there!
