Well, when Robb was there, it was just a fishing village.. and now is touted on some site as the best beach in Brazil, with all the stuff happening that goes with that kind of promotion, I gather.

Porto de Galinhas, or Port of Chickens.

I would say, Hens' Port, in English.

Well, I'll listen to you on that. (To clarify, Robb's book is not about travel to beaches, quite the contrary, as it explores a lot of history, including present history.)

Dunno which of you 'won' -

a) that's not obvious at all
b) I'm busy getting some legal arguments ready and do serious stuff right now
c) it's too late for me

But I have to pay my bills.

I'll post in about an hour - and by then it may be too late for you. Well, I'll try to be speedy.

I think so.


Since I posted that, from a site re virtual smithsonian, which I ran into rather by mistake, but liked, I've started to chase the painting down. I think the one you show is a print or some other effort.

I lost confidence after I posted... that the original painting is at the Smithsonian, but I still assume so half heartedly.

In any case, George Catlin, re a scene in Dakota Territory.



Your turn.
