I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay among us, Ben!
You all are most welcome to visit our big country, specially if you come here to bike travelling...there's a lot of wonderful places to visit.
ahahahaa!
Barra Forte is an ICON here! The most famous popular bicycle in Brazil. In 70's/80's, every worker would like to have one...
I don't like that much "brigadeiros", but "Pão de Queijo" is fantastic! I definitely love it!

Mrs. A and I spent a few days on Copacabana and in Rio and then Foz do Iguacu, and then a week in Fortaleza, where she has family. This was back in '09. I wish I could have crammed a
Barraforte in a suitcase, just for fun... along with the suitcase full of brigadeiro and the one full of pao de queijo... what a trip, what great people, what a country.
