Just to let all our friends in Brazil, our Paolista brothers and sisters, know something about from where we come upon our landing in the largest city in South America. Patricia and I live in Minnesota, where the thermometer on the car read 17 degrees F (-8 C) at 8:15 this morning.
Being from this often cold place we are friendly, mostly because we are forced to be by the hostile weather. If we don't huddle together with strangers in doorways while waiting for a bus or taxi, we could DIE from exposure. At the time I met Patricia, I was living in Uptown and she was living in Linden Hills. The main retail, commercial and entertainment district of Uptown laid geographically in the middle between us, separated by Lake Calhoune, Lakewood Cemetery and Lake Harriett.
Here is a short film by Dan Dwyer about life in Uptown, Minneapolis:
