I travelled around here for a week or so with my friend’s family. We went to Belo Horitonze, Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, Congonhas, Mariana and spent Christmas in a place called Ponte Nova. That was an interesting cultural experience for me – we had this pig on a spit where for the first time I ate pig’s ear. We celebrated christmas on christmas eve instead of christmas day (when we celebrate it back home).

The old churches and rolling hills were very pretty.
