Brazil



My parents went to Rio, Brazil many years ago, in 1983.  They thought the Brazilian beef was the best they ever tasted! They visited the two major jewelers, H Stern and Amsterdam Sauer, and had an arranged tour of Seagram's factory where they make the bags for Crown Royal.

They saw all the sights in the city of Rio and loved the beaches.  Here are some views from their hotel window.

With the 2016 Olympics to open in Rio this week, I thought it was a good time to give you some links to publications relating to Brazil.
