Finding Brazil’s Soul
- Share via
I would like to thank Jerry Haines for his accuracy in describing one of my dearest cities, Ouro Preto (“Striking Gold in Brazil,” Aug. 26).
As a Brazilian who has lived abroad for a long time, sometimes looking at pictures or watching movies like the one described in the article (“Moon Over Parador”), I miss places I once visited.
To know a little bit about history in Brazil, do what Haines did: Forget the big cities and go directly to the historic cities. You won’t be disappointed.
