Driving...

 This isn't the best photo, but if you look up ahead you will see that little car making a right hand turn in front of other cars from the left lane!
This picture is a little bit better...same thing the truck tried to make a right hand turn from the left lane and clipped the bus.


Driving in Brazil is nothing less than an adventure.  On the decent roads (which there are more bad roads than good roads) their are lane markings and traffic signals, but they seem to mean little or nothing to the drivers.  

Sarah and I joke that the white hash marks that divide the lanes are seen as a Pac-man game by most drivers.  People drive in the middle of the road, turn from the wrong lanes, pop in and out of traffic.  It is really quite the adventure.

So when you come to visit be prepared for an exciting car ride...think Indy 500 with no rules!
