Maaaaaany years ago my grandfather was in the navy, and his ship stopped in Rio during one of their tours. He bought a photo booklet for my grandmother which I “inherited,” and I was fortunate enough to spend a few days there on the way home from a work thing in Brasilia in 2002. It had gotten a little more built up in the meantime!

To date it‘s the farthest south I‘ve been and also the farthest away from home. #sofaraway #anglophileapril

A little late but here are my #bookssetinsamerica. Can you tell I had a Márquez phase? ???

Clearly I need to read some more contemporary books from the region. #booktober #southamerica

Babs_book_obsession Ah yes, the Marquez phase! Sometimes I am tempted to go back and re-read some of them. I loved them but some of them blur together a bit in my mind now. 8y
