Ah, the proof that you do indeed hold a passport! I love that bridge, despite it’s vague suggestion of spider’s legs reaching across the river. And the building reflecting clouds is a great photo. The motorway driving sounds, um, interesting…
What an interesting place to go for a holiday.

I obtained my first passport in 1995, if memory serves. So I do hold one, but I’m not like many Europeans who’ve had them almost since they were born.
The Juscelino Kubitschek bridge is beautiful with its arches flowing from one side of the bridge to the opposite side.
Brazil driving shows their “jeito,” their ability to get things done no matter the circumstances. If they need another driving lane, they simply drive as though that lane is there. Road signs and lanes are merely suggestions. Apparently, Pare is Portuguese for Merge, Slow slightly, or Yield.
