Hello everyone, here I am on a cold Monday morning flicking through the Great Book of Knowledge looking for a country to write about and decided on Brazil.
Brazil is South America’s largest country it takes up nearly half of South America. Its capital is Brasilia, it has a population of around 210 million. It is officially called the Federative Republic of Brazil.
The government is a presidential system, federal republic and constitutional republic. The constitution is the supreme law of Brazil.
The currency is the Real, the flag is a blue disc depicting a starry sky spanned by a curved band with the moto “Ordem e Progresso” in a yellow rhombus on a green field. Officially adopted on the 19 November 1889, four days after the Proclamation of the Republic to replace the flag of the Empire of Brazil.
Football or what I would call soccer is the most followed sport and a source of national pride.
The country is known for the Amazon rainforests, Sugarloaf Mountain, Iguazu Falls, soccer and the statue Christ the Redeemer. Just to name a few things, there are other things.
The Statue of Christ is 130 feet tall, it over looks Rio de Janeiro and is one of the seven wonders of the modern world. It is the symbol and icon of Brazil.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
It is a vast country and yes, they are fierce in soccer!
Never been to Brazil and never will as my traveling years are over with.
Follow a couple, they both are bloggers and that is interesting.
The language I would have managed as it is close to Spanish, just like Portuguese where I managed to speak with the youth during our visit there. If they spoke clearly and slower, I understood them and I used a mix of Spanish/Italian/French and we communicated.
Hugs,
Mariette
Tim says our days of over seas travel are done with, which is annoying as there are countries I would like to visit, so now I am going to try to get Tim to take a few holidays in Australia so I can see things here that I want to see.
You better DO indeed!
