Day Two Brasilia- Part One- Local Pride, With Good Reason

Wonderful adventure today! We went into the capital Brazilia and explored.
First stop- Catadral Metropolotiana de Brasilia. This church was pretty impressive from the outside, but inside it was breath-taking.

Beautiful stained glass throughout 

The marble walls and the angling inside of the church allowed you to stand along the wall and whisper to others standing more than 100 feet away!

Designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1960's Esplanada dos Ministerios

 We were told that this Brazilian flag is the most important in the country. Located in Brazilia (the capital city) it is also the largest displayed country-wide. It is taken down, serviced or replaced monthly.

Eixo Monumental or Monumental Axis. Brasília has a very planned and meticulous layout. not visible from this tower, but the bulk of the city was designed to look like an airplane, bird or butterfly from an aerial view. (different people prescribe to different theories as to the originally intended shape.) these two pictures do show a vast view of the city however.
