Hey hey hey!
So I am very excited to report that starting Saturday and throug the end of July I will not be in São Paulo working or studying or facing traffic and pollution. Férias bitchesssss.
But I WILL be in Brazil. I'll be doing a mini tour of the southeast, I guess :-)
That being said, I would love to meet any of my readers if you happen to be anywhere I may be over the next couple of weeks!
So here's the rundown (sort of, things may change, but we may talk about that) -
July 16-18 - Belo Horizonte/Ouro Preto - MG
There's a winter festival going on in Ouro Preto & I've never been - suggestions for things to do, anyone?
July 19-24 - Governador Valadares - MG (hometown lovin' to visit the family)
A little in the middle of nowhere, but if anyone happens to live nearby and wants to meet up, I'll legit be doing nothing but eating and sleeping (ok, ok, and school work. booo). July 25-29 - Vitória/São Mateus - ES
I've also never been to Espírito Santo and would love suggestions! I'm staying with a cousin and she's a hard working nurse, so she may have little time to entertain me :-P
July 30-31 - Rio de Janeiro - RJ OR Búzios - RJ (still TBD)
I know there are a slew of you in Rio - let's meet up for drinks!
And then I'll be back in SP so my friends here won't miss me too much.
If you want to meet up, e-mail - Poly's e-mail. Since I'll be doing a whole lot of beautiful nothingness, I should also be writing more. Hope to meet some of you throughout the next few weeks!
beijoss,
-poly.

I was in Ouro Preto last year, and I LOVED it! I stayed for 10 days I think, although if old buildings/churches/history doesn't interest you, you might not like it as much. Apart from just wandering around the town, which you can easily spend a day or so doing, I also went on a hike along the old gold route there, and went through an old gold mine underneath the town. This mine was different to the one in all the tour guides, Mina da Passagem (which was ok, but a bit of a let down really). The guide who took us was FANTASTIC, would recommend him highly - the company is Tomba Eco Tours. Hope that information helps :) Have a great trip!
I think I will be in gv at the same time you will! (i need to go visit the good ol pf) maybe we can do lunch? or if you are feeling adventurous, you can come on down (or is it up?) to Ipatinga ;)
@tanasha - thanks for the tip!! i'm super excited and love all the historic buildings and churches and mines! i'll definitely check out the company you recommended :-)
@stephanie - i would LOVE to meet up in GV!! but since the only places i know to eat are, um... my family's homes, lol - maybe we can have lunch at my grandmother's house. she loves making food for everyone and lives near centro (which i assume is where the pf is?) shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance!
