Lirio Posted June 10, 2023 #17355 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The visits for today. A walk around the lake. These 3 men are Juscelino Kubitschek, former Brazilian president that decided to build Brasilia (I sent a picture of the cathedral few days ago) and while he was governor of the Minas Gerais state, he made renovation of this lake area. With him the architect Oscar Niemeyer and the Roberto Burle Marx, landscape architect. Behind sit in a bench is Portinari (a painter – you can not see him in this picture). All together they did the lake area and later, Brasilia. These men in front of the main library are some famous writers from Belo Horizonte. And here some pictures of the museum of sacred art. The oratories were very common in farms and house during the old times. A curiosity: those type of saints was mainly made of wood. Mina Gerais was the main gold producer during XVI through XVIII century while Brazil was a colony of Portugal. Gold production was taxed on 20%. To avoid taxes, saints were made hollow and gold, silver and precious stones were hidden inside them and sent overseas. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like 'soda pop' becomes 'soda' in NY and 'pop' in the midwest. "pop" in the South is "a coke"- no matter what brand! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, we must be from different parts of the south because nobody uses the term "pop" around here. (Not for soda anyway). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueSeraSera Posted June 13, 2023 #17372 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) 11 hours ago, Lois R said: (Not for soda anyway). I think the calling soda Coke is somehow related to the geographic distance from Atlanta GA. Lived in Georgia for a few years, and agree with you there. But, as lovely Lois points out, many southerners say soda for a carbonated drink. My wife, rural Virginia born and bred, says soda also. My tar heel father said Pepsi until the voice on the other end asked if coke was ok. But, I loved my visits to Alabama, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Huntsville. So I must ask (even if off topic), do you like kale when prepared properly @DRK0312 ? Edited June 13, 2023 by QueSeraSera 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted June 13, 2023 #17373 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I just posted the review of a trip we took to the Azores (on Ponant) & Madeira (DIY) in April: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2943371-review-of-ponant-le-bellot-essential-azores-april-11-18-2023/ I doubt that Ponant will steal away any Silversea fans, but this was a wonderful itinerary. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
