Yesterday, I said I would write about Ouro PrĂȘto and upload some of my pictures, however, I shall have to renege on that promise, as my sprained ankle has been a bit worse. I have decided to take it easy (after all, I have 7 months) and stay at the hotel to rest my foot.
As I was not really capable of moving around too much, I simply stayed on the hammock on the hostel terrace this morning, read a bilingual edition of portuguese short stories, reading out loud so as to get used to speaking the language. Also, as I had a lot of time on my hands, I took my new (and from now on well hidden) camera and took pictures of the many birds which fly around it. So this is what you'll get today. I must add that as many know, my knowledge of fauna and flora is pretty aweful, so I am incapable of giving the birds' names (except an easy one). I might ask Aidan for help on that. And also, I realised that a very good zoom would have been useful in taking these pictures. But I used the material I had, and
this is a small selection of what I took.

Just realised that the yellow bird on fake flower was the wrong way around. Sorry!
