Sweet Maria's Coffee
Great coffee (not always from Brazil).
Tom and Maria sell green beans, which you roast
yourself. You can use an air pop popcorn popper,
or invest in a real coffee roaster. It's a little
extreme, but makes great coffee. |
Rio Hiking
If you're going to Brasil, you're going to Rio; be sure

I met Capital (Jonathan) at Brazil Camp. He is Berkeley's electro- ethnic-guitar

you're interested in guitar lessons, or in anything guitar related.
Interested in going to Brazil? Contact Jill. She has great information on
the Brazillian music scene.
