Hi Bill,
I had to check my Encarta atlas to answer your question: Belo Horizonte is very close (relatively speaking: Brazil is a huge country) to both Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Actually the distance between Sao Paulo and B.H. is about 500 miles, while Rio is even closer (300 miles maybe). On the map Belo Horizonte is just north of Rio and north-east of Sao Paulo.
I bet that Jann would be delighted to visit Brazil: a nice change after Alaska, what do you think?
