Brazilian/Mexican Street View of the Week No. 5

Beautiful downtown Ibirite, Brazil. Meet you in front of Loja 1 in half an hour.

Brazilian Street View of the Week No. 2

This is in the backblocks of the same town I posted last week. The tiny place in the centre is a Pentecostal church.

Quiet

It's quiet on the blog. Sorry, I have been alternately busy and totally, totally drained. But in fantastic news, I have just realised that parts of Brazil are now on Street View. Such as, Ibirité, Minas Gerais state. I actually found this lovely corner using MapCrunch which throws up random locations in the nation(s) of your choice.

Um olá! especial a Brasil | A special hello to Brazil

Olá! Brasil! Eu sou realmente satisfeito que você tem visitado meu blogue. Você é definitivamente meu país falador não-inglês realmente grande do favorito. Eu estava em minha maneira de visitá-lo em 1989 e apenas não elaborou. Eu tentarei outra vez um dia. Eu estou olhando para a frente a ver quedas de Iguaçu, e o Negro e o Solimoes juntam-se em Manaus - talvez quando eu me aposento.

Hi Brazil! I am really pleased that you have been visiting my blog. You are definitely my favourite really big non-english speaking country. I was on my way to visit you in 1989 and it just did not work out. I will try again one day. I am looking forward to seeing Iguaçu Falls, and the Negro and Solimoes rivers joining at Manaus - maybe when I retire.
