Greetings from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Here is a short summary of my first two days in this wonderful country: after a long flight from Rome through Lisbon (thinking of you, Jose') I arrived to Rio, where I spent one night in Copacabana (thinking of Angelo singing Barry Manilow). The following morning I had a walk along this famous beach and the adjacent Ipanema beach (where else?) Anyway, I will see more of Rio at the end of this month, before going back to Italy
Shortly after noon I had to take my flight to Belo Horizonte, where I finally met Chico and his friends. Belo Horizonte is a beautyful town, with lots of vegetation, trees, a lake and... super friendly people. Yesterday I had a first rehearsal with Chico and his friends and I can say that I have met yet another family. They made me feel immediately at home and I cannot wait to play again with them today and the following days.
P.S.: Armando, I have emailed you three times, but every time the mail bounced back; anyway I am looking forward to meeting you Saturday.
I will keep you informed.
Saludos amigos!
Andrea
