he arrived at South America’s Triple Frontier<\/a>. Here, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay join at a single point. Now he returned to Brazil for an entire month. On the latest excursion he’s gone to a number of spots including Belo Horizonte, Mariana, Ouro Preto, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador de Bahia, and Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI’ve enjoyed following him on Google Analytics as he hits my website at each new town and puts another dot on my visitor map. Yes, I can track his progress in almost real-time. Also, I certainly wished I could be there in person during a chilly North American winter. Rio, where he visited today, hit 32\u00b0c. (89\u00b0f.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s not what he wanted to share although it’s still quite interesting. He knows I enjoy islands — the more obscure the better — and he made it all the way out to the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha during this sojourn. I find it comforting in a sense when the audience begins to understand my quirks. And yes, for the record, I do maintain an unnatural fascination with islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
