Vida em Campos


After breakfast on the 14th floor, this view of the east of Campos. The Rio de Paraiba do Sul winds its way some 15 miles to the ocean.


Fom the top floor of my flat, the morning sun has made the view of homes in Campos quite rich with color and shape.


Graussi Praia (beach) is located near where the Rio de Pariba do Sul enters through a delta. The praia is closely located to Campos and is a nice get-a-way for the day. The kiosks are well located next to the ocean and serve light dishes and refreshments, including cerveja.


My main tools are my bike and computer. With my bike I save the earch about 10 pounds of CO2 per day, a practice I hope to continue at Claremont. While Jim Jones and I do the trails in the hills of Claremont and La Verne, I need to extend my riding more often to work as well.


My flat is on the 8th floor. I take the bike in the service elevators, and head for UENF each day. My staple is futbol.

Jack;

Is the beach on the river or the ocean ? It looks pretty crowded, is it as nice as Newport ? How often do you get there ?

Jack! Great to catch up with your life in Brazil! We kept hearing about the demonstrations around Pres. Bush's visit, but it was fun to think of you being in the actual region, hearing it from the Brazilian point of view. How's the Portuguese? Hope all is well.
