Brasil, a country the size of the United States plus Alaska, was the home of fifteen American students last summer. During the final week of our stay we took a trip together visiting three cities. The first of the three cities was Belo Horizonte. We termed it as Average Town, U.S.A., because of the separate residential and business districts. The second, Ouro Preto, is the city in which progress stopped in the 1800's. Nothing new has been added since that time. After a struggle, we finally acquired a Brasilian Air Force plane to fly to Brasilia, the third city. The new capital was built in the in- terior to move the population from the crowded coastline. When completed, it will be the most modern city in the world. Going by bus from the airport, we saw the buildings under construction and the President's palace which was completed. The whole city was fascinating and won't be forgotten. This past summer for us, as for each exchange student, was one we will never forget.
