Tiradentes



This little town is terrific. It is a quaint small tourist town which has stone streets and a lot of pretty sights. It sits in a small valley in the mountains next to a city called Sao Joao De Rei. Liz and I got there around 2-3 pm on Thursday and had a nice lunch. We spent the rest of the day walking around and looking for a place to stay. The town was packed with pousadas (hotels) and it was a lot of fun just meeting the people and seeing the cottages. Every place had rooms since carnival had just ended and noone was around. We ended up in this nice place in a corner room overlooking the mountains and the very close to the main plaza. Since the place was absolutely dead, a lot of the bars were closed and we ducked into a fancy Italian restaurant for dinner to avoid the rain, which came down in buckets for about an hour.
