DAY 18 (1 OF 3) – TOWNSCAPE, OURO PRETO, BRAZIL
Recommended by guidebook, a 5-minute morning walk along Rua Conselheiro Quintiliano northest of Praca Tiradentes brought us to a panoramic view of the churches and rooftops. Without the cars, street lamps, and electrical poles, Ouro Preto would look exactly like a Baroque city back in the 18th century.
