Before I move on, let me introduce you to my hosts in Uberlandia,
Sisters Marlena and Nega and their crazy-but-oh-so-adorable dog, Fume. I
stayed in their home while I worked with Dr. Joao Lucas for the past
few days. They have a lovely house with beautiful gardens in the backyard that include a pomegranate tree, a lime tree, and several banana trees!

Today I went on a seven and a half hour bus ride from Uberlandia to Brasilia
to
visit some great friends I have in Brasilia. Seven and a half hours! It
was long of course, but the countryside was beautiful (when I was not
sleeping). Minas Gerais is a little more mountainous than Goias so it
was really nice to see the contrast and see the palm trees throughout
the drive. There were also a lot of eucalyptus forests and many farms
and birds.
