Hello everybody -
by surfing around I found a site I'd like
to recommend to all borderfreaks...:
it's about the Brazilian borders - these
borders are - according to the treaties
with all their neighbors - well demarcated.
 
On the Brazil-Uruguay border there is a
town divided into two: the Brazilian town
of Sant'Ana do Livramento and the Urug.
town of Rivera. They share the main street
and the "Praca Internacional" - quite unique!
 
It reminds me of "Nieuwstraat/Neustrasse"
between Kerkrade/Holl. + Herzogenrath/Ger.

South America - in a couple of years...!?!
I'll be back with news on our GCEBE...!

PPS: Guess which book I'm reading/adoring/
         enjoying at the moment...?!?
