Recife #1 - Out & About (via Uber)

Around town in Ubers, and on the streets . . . interesting differences.

Driving in cities . . .

Driving in the cities we were in is a "whole 'nother ballgame" & it's not for the "faint-at-heart"!  Lanes  seemed to be narrower, cars were closer together, everyone continually swerved in & out of lanes, & if you have 3" space . . . go for it.  Motor cyclists & scooters are probably 1/4th of the vehicles & they seem to use the painted lane lines as "their lane" between cars.  (Remember, 3" space between you & the next guy is enough!)  There is NO blasting of horns - never!  Tolerance & patience is in amazing abundance as everyone just moves along together . . . "cutting off in front of you" is the norm & accepted in a relaxed manner by all.  I think everyone drives with the idea that if someone is ahead of you (in another lane, & IF people even stay in lanes), that those other drivers will probably/most likely, all of a sudden, pull right in front of you ~ by a 3" (well, maybe 6" on the ruler) space :) !!! ~ just SO close.  Sometimes some drivers use signals. 

~ Souvenirs ~

An assortment of souvenirs . . . not many & mostly small.  I don't "need" things, & I was flying with luggage limits!  Click on the first item to enlarge & see the full photo, & then continue with the arrow to see all.

Visiting Brazil (Brasil)

Opening up the world to different cultures, but  remembering all of us were created by God.

Information

This is the 1st in a series of connected "Visiting Brazil" websites using Webnode's "free" website offer (which has limited space which photos, vs. text, use up very rapidly).  Having had a limited knowledge of life in Brazil (only knowing of the Amazon, jungles, & the Jesus statue), I made this website series to share our March/April 2023, month-long trip, for your enjoyment, enlightenment, and educational benefit to expand our South American cultural awareness.

Put "Visiting Brazil" in the subject line.

Website index below . . .


This is an INDEX (with links to the 1st page of each of the 9 sections) of my VISITING BRAZIL travel series. There are 9 linked websites, with the pages also linked within each website.

This website series begins with: visitingbrazil.webnode.com. Thereafter, a # is included: visitingbrazil2.webnode.com . . . visitingbrazil3.webnode.com, etc., etc.

NOTE: Also, you will see that the end of the website address will change to ".page," so typing in either .com or .page will take you to the website. This ".page" is built inside Webnode's system because I'm using their "free website program" vs. buying a domain name.
