Hello Jayanand,

I'm not so certain I'd like (m)any of them as my pets... , but what I'm
sure of is that you did a wonderful job and enlightening job.
this trip must have been wonderful.

An aside, how did you like the country itself? the people? the language?
samba? churrasco? caipirinha? ;-)


Kudos to the nth again.

And many many thanks for the whole virtual trip.

Amities
Philippe
