Wow Brazil!!!

What a great country. I visited the capital city, Brasilia, yesterday and met with one of Quest's Advisory Board Members, Heitor Gurgulino de Souza (Secretary-General Elect, International Association of University Presidents (IAUP), Brazil). Heitor and I not only visited two schools in Brasilia, but we also visited a number of historical sites. Below are some pictures of...
The Cathedral of Brasilia. A Cathedal that is mostly underground.
The monument of Juscelino Kubischek de Oliveira, the Brazilian president who moved the capital of Brazil from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1955.
A traditional Brazilian lunch (rice, beans and beef) with Heitor and his wife.
A great school visit at GALOIS. Thanks to all the students who stayed behind to ask questions and took this picture with me.
After school visits in Rio de Janeiro today, I visited the Christ Redeemer Statue on Corcovado Peak. What an amazing view of the city. Here are some pictures...
