Minas Gerais

Just back from weekend in Minas Gerais...the country of the golden mines, the Portuguese historical colonial towns, pão de queijo, doce de leite, cachaça and coffee!

I have seen a humming-bird, or beija-flor (flower kisser) as they call it in Portuguese, an ostrich, an iguane (or was it a cousin...) and so many beautiful things! I am returning half-hysterically happy and amazed!

Then I have met amazing people - the mineiros people are some generous of a kind! I might have travelled alone - just one name on the ticket - but I have not felt alone one single minut!

Pictures are coming up soon!
