Field and Mountain at the Fazenda

This picture was taken in 1994 on our trip to Brazil, but tonight I scanned it into the computer and cropped it to improve the composition. In late July of 1994, we went to Brasilia to visit close friends that we met in 1968 at college in Boulder, Colorado. We met in married student housing; we were newlyweds and so were they. We had always stayed in contact, but until 1994 (about 25 years later) never managed to make it down to Brazil. We had only been in Brasilia for a day or two when we all piled into the car and drove to their beautiful fazenda (ranch). We walked through this field (see the cattle in the background?)and then went horseback riding. What a great day! We had waited for such a long time to visit, and it seemed like a dream to finally be there.
