On my next-to-last day in the area, I traveled to nearby Mariana, the oldest colonial town in the state of Minas Gerais.  This is one site of the multi-campus UFOP--Universidade Federale de Ouro Preto.  My friend Bernd conducted a workshop on description and media in the morning; I led a workshop in description and performing arts in the afternoon.  This photo depicts a civic building, the Casa de Camara e Cadeia.
