 * 2 || [[image:Brazilian_text_book.jpg caption="Portuguese Textbook"]] || Steve has just landed in Brazil, the largest country in South America. It doesn't take long before Steve crawls upon a native tribe and picks up some of the Portuguese language. In return, Steve teaches the natives English grammar and sentence structure. The Brazilians are so elated that they send him on his journey with a Portuguese textbook to use for translating along the way.
 * 3 || [[image:social_groups.jpeg]] || Steve's travels take him to many exotic places.Along the way, he encounters a festival or carnival with people dressed in colorful ,native clothing celebrating their ethnic heritage. There are many different social groups in Brazil.The darker-skinned Brazilians of Indian background are typically poorer than the rest. The whites are the middle and upper class and have more European backgrounds. ||
 * 4 || [[image:dialposter.jpg]] || When Steve visited the market in Sao Paulo, he saw many diverse shops. Some sold posters, others jewelery, and some even sold rugs and tapestries. Steve decided he had some time to spare, so he went to a shop where they sell posters. He was intrigued by this one and thought, " I must have this. It is a perfect souvenir. It symbolizes Brazilian daily life with futbol (soccer), martial arts, native dancers, statues, etc. It is marvelous!" ||
 * 5 || [[image:christ_the_reedemeer.jpg caption="This Christ the Redeemer"]] || Next, Steve huffs and puffs his way up a steep mountainside overlooking Rio de Janeiro to the awesome monument of Jesus Christ on top of Corcovado Mountain. He is amazed by its light weight construction. The monument is titled "Christ the Redeemer." This monument is a testimony to Christianity and has stood for over 80 years. Then Steve travels down the mountain to Rio for Carnival after hearing it noted that Carnival is the largest Brazilian "tortoise" attraction. Carnival is held each year just before Fat Tuesday and Lent. He is underwhelmed by the scarce number of tortoises. And what are all these people with feet doing here? Again, he is grateful for the durable silver stream shell on his back. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 6 || [[image:_38099403_ronaldo33_a.jpg]] || Fortunately for Steve, some real rest and relaxation was built into his schedule. He decided to treat himself to a Brazilian artform- futbol or soccer. He got to see Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, some of the greatest players in the world, outplay England and he watched Ronaldo even get a hat-trick
 * 7 || [[image:art_parade_Brazil.jpg]] || Next up on the sightseeing list, Steve got to kick back and see a true Brazilian parade. The feathers and the costumes appealed to Steve enormously. Reds, greens, yellows and blues were like candy. The dancing and drum rhythms really got his adrenaline pumping so hard he had to tortoise-run in place to keep from bouncing off of the walls. Parades are a great and colorful example of Brazilian culture. ||
 * 8 || ===[[image:amazon_river.jpeg]]=== || Steve headed for the airport to see another part of Brazil.He took this picture while he was flying directly over the massive Amazon River basin. At first he thought it was tiny, but when he got closer.... ||
 * 9 || ===[[image:waterfall_in_Brazil.jpg]]=== || He realized that it looked absolutely beautiful and very powerful. He thought of all of the endangered animals living below him and of the animals found only here. He thought of the birds, the poisonous snakes and frogs, the weird plants. He almost crashed the plane getting a good look at this beautiful waterfall. ||
 * 10 || ===[[image:panther.jpeg caption="A black leopard, one of the many leopards in Brazil"]]=== || Steve encountered this meat ripping black panther in the Amazon Rain Forest. It is one of the many species of panthers and leopards in Brazil. ||
 * 11 || ===[[image:piranha-1.jpg]]=== || Steve shot this photo while snorkeling in one of the 1000+ rivers in Brazil. Piranhas are fairly common in the rivers and he thought this might be a new species, but it turned out to be a regular green piranha. ||
 * 12 || ===[[image:redeemer.jpg]]=== || Safely back in Rio, Steve looked at the high mountain peaks and again at the Christ figure atop Corcovado Mountain. He was amazed at how low the clouds seem in Brazil. They cling to the mountain tops. The Brazilian Highlands is the name of the range seen from Rio inland. ||
 * 13 || === === ===[[image:image.jpeg]]=== || Steve travels to Brazilia, the capital of Brazil and he sees the National Congress building. He wants to meet a congress person but both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputees are in session and cannot be interrupted. ||
 * 14 || [[image:BRL10f.jpg]] || Then, Steve crawls into town and he actually meets the star of the Brazilian National Soccer team, Ronaldinho. Steve tells him that he needs to do other moves than the "Scissors" when going to goal in a heated World Cup Final. Ronaldhino takes Steve's advice and gives him 10 real. Ronaldinho says that one real is worth about a half a dollar in U.S. money. Ronaldinho tells Steve to go to Futbol Nation in Brasilia and buy himself a Ronaldinho jersey. Ronaldinho says that his own jersey is too special to give away and besides, Steve needs a jersey with 4 leg holes anyway. Steve goes into town and buys the jersey. ||  ||
 * 15 || [[image:Obvio828.jpg]] || Steve goes by a car dealership and sees a really cool car. It is an OBVIO 828 and its one of the coolest cars from Brazil. The car costs a lot of money and Steve asks if he can go on a test drive. He is allowed because he uses a booster seat to see over the steering wheel. He loves the car because it reminds him of a tortoise! He wishes that he can have it, but he doesn't have enough money. ||
 * 16 || [[image:PACabral.jpg]] || Next, Steve goes to the National Museum of Brazil in the capital city and sees this picture of Pedro Alvarez Cabral.

 * 17 || [[image:palacio-planalto.JPG.jpg]] || Steve finally arrives at the Presidential Palace and realizes that he has to sneak onto the grounds in order to meet the president. He finds a hole and makes his way into the building. He meets the president, Luiz Inacio LULA DA SILVA and gets his picture taken with him. It turns out, that the president only knew that Cabral had discovered Brazil looking for gold and treasures to take back across the Atlantic. Mr. President offers Steve a job as a grounds protector which means that he will make sure that no one can get into the building from the grounds.Obviously, he got through security so he must be an expert! Steve takes the job and lives in the Palace with the President. ||
 * 18 || [[image:SouthAmerica-450-Brazil.jpg]] || After accepting his new job in Brazil, Steve wanted to take a look at all of the wonderful places he has visited in his new country.

He has even been offered a job by the President of Brazil. Steve has truly had the adventure of his life! Cool! or as they say in Portuguese, Adeus et Cuidado! ||
