Postcard from Brazil!

Today I got a nice postcard from Brazil! The card shows multiple views of Cairu, a city located in the state of Bahia. Used was a nice stamp issued in 2012 commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Presbyterian Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro. It was the first Presbyterian church in the country and was established in 1862. The church itself was opened in 1870 and was redesigned with Neo-Gothic architecture. Thanks Lívia!

Postcard from Brazil!

Today I got a cool postcard from Brazil! The postcard shows an aerial view of the Ópera de Arame, also known as the Wire Opera House. It is a unique opera house located in the city of Curitiba in the province of Paraná. It is one of the city's top attractions for tourists. It was built with a series of interconnected steel tubes, which is why it was called the Wire Opera House. Thanks Priscila!
