Carol took these photos from the 7th floor condo that Adriano (Dree), Wem's brother, is buying and already remodeling. The city of Belo Horizonte seems to go on FOREVER and this is just a small slice of the view from the air when you first arrive to land at the international airport.
The city sprawls around some "foothills" that can be seen in the distance and the total population of the metro area is around 7 million. Dree and his fiance are planning a November wedding. The condo overlooks the school where Sara taught English. We had been there in one of our earlier trips at Thanksgiving time. No, the Brasilians don't celebrate, but English schools use it as a teaching event, so we did have traditional foods during those visits. The kids usually left the cranberries and turkey and concentrated on the potatoes and vegetables which are more common in their daily diets.
