Today I visited a town called Ouro Preto with Guy and Geli (my hosts in Belo Horizonte). It´s a colonial town that was the centre of Brasilian gold mining in the 18th century. The man responsible for many of the religious sculptures in the region carved most of his work after losing his hands and legs. The political correctness and kindness of the times granted him the caring nickname of Aleijadinho. For those of you who don´t speak Portuguese, this means Little Cripple.
Afterwards, we went grocery shopping, and purchased the wolverine of pineapples.
