Gutentag & Brazil?

Talked to two pilots and one flight attendant from Germany today.  They fly the LA/Germany route, but had a 48 hour layover.  Just a quick hop up to Portland to spend a day at the coast and a day in the wine country.  What a life!

Talked with a couple from South Carolina who admitted that it is unfortunate that their state has been in the news so much the past few months, between  Governor Sanford (the affair with his Brazilian mistress while he was supposed to be hiking the Appalachian Trail) and Representative Wilson (who shouted “liar” at the President of the United States during an address to Congress).  They would be happy if their state was in the news for better reasons.

Met three women from Brazil today.  Good thing their English is better than my Portuguese.  I asked about the JK  bridge in Brasilia that I had just seen on some tv show recently.  Like the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California, their bridge is a work of art.
