Something I don't think I've talked about on this site, and I'm not
sure why, is that I lived in Brazil between the years of 1978 and
1981. My father was helping to build a nuclear power plant for
Westinghouse, who had sold the plant to the Brazilian electric company
Furnas. We lived about 3.5 hours outside Rio De Janeiro and about 4
hours away from Sao Paulo. The village we lived in was specifically
built to house the people working on the plant (and 1-2 others being
built in the area).
My best friend from those days contacted me recently (Jack Ludwig,
whose site appears under the "Featured Links" section on the home
page). He shared the following picture of our old village:
 Mambucaba Residential Village
As you can see, we're right on the edge of the jungle (and the ocean).
It was a nice and safe place to live. As kids, we could walk around,
ride our bikes, and explore pretty much to our hearts' content. We got
to spend a decent amount of time on the beach, bodysurfing, collecting
shells, and snorkeling.
Hard to believe it was 24 years ago.
