Next Stop Belo Horizonte, Brazil
A Town Where All the World Is a Bar

.

.

BELO HORIZONTE, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais,

has managed to become the country’s third-largest

city while remaining almost completely unknown to the outside world.

If tourists — more drawn to the sybaritic pleasures

of Rio de Janeiro or the urban clamor of São Paulo

— know it at all, it is because they may pass through

it on their way to Ouro Preto and Diamantina,

treating it as a little more than a refueling

stop as they head toward those pictures

que colonial-era mining towns.

Para meus amigos mineiros uai!!!!

Já estão fazendo tradução?

Beijosssssssssssss
