    More beautiful photos. The shopping center looks great, doesn't look like it is 40 years old.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
    Take care, Meow

    Hi Sonia...

    Thanks for your good wishes and I am much better..still not 100% but on the way, I hope.

    I love these photos...the Train Station is quite elegant isn't it, like a Government Building where great decisions are made...and important laws are passed...

    Love that Shopping Center, too...
    But the best is your view! Lovely, Lovely....(That is part of your view, isn't it?)

    You have a good weekend, too, my dear Sonia.

    Oh My....What a view to wake up with every morning. That is georgous!!! And the shopping mall. The malls I have been in here do not look that way at all. I remember seeing one in Central America that looked the same as yours. I think we should take lessons from the architects there.

    I love the station, Sonia!

    My son and daughter-in-law have a woman from Brazil staying with them for a while. She just arrived with a student visa (she was here last year, but had to go back to Brazil and apply for another visa. Her birthday was yesterday, and they threw a party for her, with some of her friends. My Daughter-in-law is really becoming fluent in Portuguese.
