Thanks Susy. I see 'Dia de Tiradentes' isn't being celebrated over there?
agree Thais Maria Lips : What do you want me to do? Hang myself, spread salt on my yard? I am in Denver, CO pal! I just wish the people in Brazil would celebrate by bringing the character of the nation, back to the ideals of the Inconfidents! :-)

Yet another person not celebrating Tiradentes. What's going on? // Yes, there does appear to be too many (pointless) national holidays in Brazil.
