That's cool. I remember as a youngster reading about the construction of futuristic Brasilia- and how general thinking at the time had Brasil on its way to becoming a major world power, but the economics and politics there never quite got it together.
That tragic explosion on their sat launch pad a few years back was really sad.
But I'm still nuts for Bossa Nova music and Astrud Gilberto..... even if she does live in Philadelphia!
