Marcia,
We enjoyed reading your introduction to Brazil, a country we hope to visit one day. Friends tell me it is one of the most wonderful countries in the world for so many reasons. Personally, I like the music. That alone is a fantastic contribution Brazil has made to world culture.. in addition to football (soccer), authors like Jorge Amado, and all the rest.
Brazil also produced Marcia, a miracle we are honored to have in our midst every Saturday.
