Sightseeing

After a breakfast of fresh mango, big papaya, strong coffee and toast, we took a trip around the city. This time I had my camera!

We went to the Presidents House


And saw giant goldfish


And a beautiful bird. There's another one called Jean de 'mud' (insert português word).


And the guards


Mango trees are everywhere. All the trees and plants are huge, mostly because of the 12 month growing season. It's 75 all year long. So there are bouganvillas and hibiscus the size of trees.


We also went to the lakeside called pontão, which is gorgeous.


And doesn't it look like Miami?


There is a famous suspension bridge (ponte!) in the background. Here are Marcio's dad, brother Bruno and future sister-in-law Issa.


Everything reminds me of part France, part India, and part Florida. It's beautiful.
