Hi Ollie! Sim, eu falo um poquinho ainda, mais eu esqueci quasi tudo. Posso ler muito mais melhor que falar . Eu aprendei em 1968-1970! Morei em Santos e ‘went to school’ em São Paulo - Escola Graduada de SP. ADOREI Brasil. Tenho muito saudades.

Ah que bom saber! I hope you can visit again one day. I'm South African, but born to a Brazilian mom and English dad, and have lived many years in Brazil. We have a small guesthouse in Minas Gerais, about two hours north of São Paulo.
