Ah, the beautiful city of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. Geometry in Brasilia is much easier than in other cities, since there are two main shapes to learn: the rectangle and the square. For three buldings it's necessary for you to learn the circle and the triangle, but they're special cases so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I have a rule about pictures that says if it doesn't move or talk then there's no reason to get out of the car (or even slow the car down) to take a picture of it. I have probably missed out on some good architecture based on that philosophy, but I've also gained time to interact with people :)

The dome, tower, and bowl - from a distance. The dome is where congress meets, the tower is one half of congress' offices, and the bowl belongs to the other (think Senate & House of Representatives - or House of Commons & House of Lords :-))	The dome, tower, and bowl from much closer

The Presidential Palace	The National Cathedral
The National Cathedral, closer	The national theatre!
"Picture me!" (yes, this was a random person who saw me taking pictures :)	The national theatre, even closer
Neither Bethany nor her mother knew what this was, but I think it's pretty cool to have a large circus-ish tent go up in the middle of the city :)	Ok, so I'm one of those strange people who laughs more at my own mistakes than anyone else's. This was completely unintentional, but as Mrs. Comley put it "you couldn't have done better if you tried." The statue that you *can't* see, btw, is part of the JK memorial. Remember how I said Brasilia was a planned city? Guess who did the planning :)
Rectangular building. The flowers on the tree are an absolutely beautiful color. That tree grows all over the place in Brazil, and is beautiful every time you see it	The National Cathedral again. Notice the beautiful pattern of the clouds
Rectangular building. This one qualifies as artsy compared to most of what I saw	The view from a top the shopping plaza where the American Women's Club Meeting (see later on in the trip summary) took place.
The nice thing about this view is the clouds	Which are just absolutely beautiful
No matter how many time you look at them	Which is kind of funny, since I never noticed them until I looked at the pictures
Oh, well - my loss, right?	And one more, just to be sure :-)
Linux in Brazil!!!!!	Brazilian builders haven't learned what American builders did in the 80s - it's not a good idea to have windows in office buildings that can open
The JK memorial again, better view	And again :) just in case there's something wrong with the first one :)
And another church :)	And again :-)
