We had a terrific time on our Architectural Walking Tour – the 2nd stop on our Cultural Circuit. On a sunny Saturday our group met at Praca Sete to begin touring with our
Claudio Lysardo Teixeira
knowledge and personable tour guide Claudio Lysardo Teixeira.
Claudio shared with us the tremendous history of Belo Horizonte and the significance of many of the old architectural buildings and interiors that made up the former cultural center of BH. He also told us some wonderful and warming stories his grandmother has shared with him over the years about what the life was like in BH in years it was considered the most sophisticated and grand city in Brazil.
We had such an overwhelming number of requests to join the tour we had to turn many away. Because of this we’ll be looking to repeat the tour later in the year. In the interim, Claudio is working with Minas International to prepare an English guide of the sites we visited. More information to come soon!
After the tour we went out to a traditional Mineiro restaurant for a great lunch and some yummy dessert!

On April 9th, Minas International held our First Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Picnic at Mangabeiras Park. Sixteen of Minas International’s “junior” members hunted for eggs, played and enjoyed seeing the monkeys and quatis of the park. They then got down to some serious business of decorating eggs and participating in an egg judging contest.
For us “senior” members, the afternoon was a great chance to meet other ex-pat families and some who had moved from other parts of Brazil. We shared information and experiences about raising kids in Minas Gerais; had great fun watching the kids hunt and decorate eggs and enjoyed some great food, fruit and sweets.
In all, a great day. A big thank you for all those who participated!
