Jasper the Red Mystic Ranger

Jasper has noted we need to call him Nick when he's in costume. Cute!

Sao Joao Del Rei - Yet more churches...

By the time we were done the Minas trip, we were all "Churched-out". Jasper did remarkably well, but it was especially nice he got to travel from Tiradentes to Sao Joao in the first steam train used in Brasil - "Steaming Mary"!

Tiradentes

Jasper befriended a nice boy on our last stop in Tiradentes, and they went on a horse & carriage ride together to natural water springs where we drank the freshest mineral water ever! The Carriage had a resident dog appropriately named "Princessa".

Five funny faces

Jasper & Daddy had a great time in Ouro Preto making funny faces at the fountain..

Belo Horizonte

Probably the ONLY nice thing about the city is this church. Neimeyer was (as always) involved in the project...
