Linder takes a vacation to Brazil, and keeps a journal. She relates what it is like to travel a country almost as large as the US, with 11 flights, a dozen destinations (that includes Argentina) a multitude of birds, animals and reptiles, all in her own words. It's a funny narration with observations about adventure travel, cultures, people and places, and it includes her husband's sometimes caustic remarks (I'll never travel with Linder again...) it's a good fun read for travelers or would-be travelers alike.
