Brasília, the capital of Brazil, was built in 41 months from 1956 to April 21, 1960 when it was officially inaugurated. The city has a current population of 2.4 million.

A closer look at Brasília's National Congress, seat of the federal government. The city's main urban planner was Lúcio Costa, chief architect Oscar Niemeyer, landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx.

Closeup of the National Congress. They even let me wander inside to rub shoulders with the Senators present. As is usual in South American politics, that day they were trying to pass a bill to impeach President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. They failed.

The crux of my journey in Paraguay is boat-jumping from Asuncion to Concepcion, then on to Bahai Negro in the far north, glimpsing the Pantanal (a large flood plain). In Concepcion I board boat Aquidaban for a five day float.
Greg James Wade:
All aboard! The Aquidaban readies to leave port.
Greg James Wade:
The Aquidaban overflows with foods for indigenous villages along the river. If you need anything just bargain with a little old lady (arms crossed against the wall).

I sleep in a hall hammock for five days while floating Rio Paraguay. This is a pic of my room. I chain my backpack to a pillar so it will not wander off.
