It is easy to understand why Brazil has so much potential as a world economic power. Most of our photos show traditional scenes and places, but we see factories like this one around Bahia. This is a cookie factory. On the othe side of the river, 100's of cars have been unloaded from car carriers after being constructed in the southern part of the country. A major petroleum plant occupies another bay - Brazil is energy self sufficient. Our new AIS system picked up 36 ships in the bay - most of them engaged in international commerce. And, while there is poverty, we also meet young people who are teachers, or studying to be dentists, doctors and engineers.
