I met some wonderful people in "Floripa". A wonderful local poet who, with her husband as driver, took me to see the Victor Meirelles painting of the First Mass at the Museum of Art (strangely, the rest of the museum is all white walls with no exhibit), then we had coffee at the museum café before they brought me back to the hotel. Amazingly generous people here. She gave me an autographed copy of her book and did her best to improve my Portuguese so I will be able to read it when I get home. We understood each other beautifully. Eu aprendo falar Portugues. The magic continues...
