Salvador, Bahia? Most of the time, I visit Curitiba, Piranha in
southern Brazil. It is south of Rio, near Bolivia and Argentina. Most of
the people there are Italian.

The first time I was there, I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut (I have a
picture here, somewhere). Since then, I have enjoyed the Italian
restaurants and the Brazilian BBQ's. Food at the street fairs is pretty
good. I wish we could get some of the fruit and vegetables here, like
they have there. I love their tangerines, they are juicy and delicious,
plus they are so big. Now you are tempting me to go back for a visit. I
have two years left on my visa.<g>
