Steps

We have finished our visit to Minas Gerais and are headed for Rio, a city I have long looked forward to visiting for a long time now. I learned a lot these past two weeks traveling around with you and seeing a new country and a new part of the world. Despite experiencing many wonderful things our love has been tested in many ways.

But after much talking and soul searching, we seem to have found our footing once again and shared a wonderful day yesterday exploring the beautiful historic town of Ouro Preto. We visited a museum at the city centre and several important churches and discussed a lot about literature and art along the way. I felt very close to you and we ended up our day in a very charming and cozy restaurant called Passo which you told me in your language means 'Step'.  I liked this place very much and found the name suitable as well, not only because this old city is a place of incredibly steep steps that need to be negotiated at every turn, but because I felt that we had taken a new step in our relationship together, in the same direction. I think we are both feeling better now as a result.
