Donny,
I have started to study portuguese already and I am reading all I can about Brazil and Belo Horizonte in particular. I think that I will soon become a fan of Atletico Mineiro (local soccer team).
P.S.: Belo Horizonte lies at 850 m above sea level (about 2500 feet), so the climate is not too hot even in summer (unlike Rio, where temperatures in summer are around 35-40 C or 95-104 F).
Today's temperature in BH at 2 am: 19° C (66° F).
