Oh Brasil! You crazy woman. You land of desire and dreams. The way your palms sway in that warm ocean breeze. The way you walk by me on Ipanema. The music blasting through your doors in Floripa. The water from your Iguaçu Falls quenching the thirst of the entire continent. From the unbearably hot land of Cuiabá to the laid-back northeastern peoples of Fortaleza to the beats of musica sertaneja / samba / bossa nova / forró in each of cars and discos around the country, I found a home away from home.
