Bem-vindo a Brasí­lia (Welcome to Brasí­lia)

I arrived in Brasí­lia in the afternoon of 30 October 2010 after a slight delay in Sí£o Paulo because of the weather (it is, after all, spring and the beginning of the rainy season in Brazil). With only a few hours of sunlight left in the day, I visited the Ermida Dom Bosco (Dom Bosco Chapel) in the Dom Bosco Ecological Park on the shore of Lake Paranoí¡.

There, on the shore of Lake Paranoí¡, I witnessed my first sunset in the Southern Hemisphere, and what a glorious sunset it was. Continue reading
