I have now seen the rest of what there is to see in Brasilia. Enrique and I have sucessfully been to every single tourist sight in the city. Brasilia is the country capital, so it there are a lot of political sights. Today we went to the congress...where the senate and the house meet. There are two bowls over each side to represent that the house (also called the "camera") is open and the senate is closed. We went in to see the house meeting. It was a Friday so there weren't many people there, but one man was talking about Brasilia's new affirmative action type law that they are considering putting into affect. One of the problems is that, unlike in the States, Brasilian's don't really keep track of their lineage and everyone is sort of a mix of everything.
During our tour we were led through all the state flags of Brasil, and past this unknow statue.
We saw a miniture model of the city and then we went to the park to see all the monuments.
Afterwards we headed all the way to the other side of the "airplane" and went up the TV tower to get a view of the city. You can see the congress building way in the distance, and the museum from last weeks adventure is to the right.
I feel that I have sufficently tourer this city now, and I am ready to start traveling outside the city limites.

So you will know everywhere worth seeing to take us to when we come. Panning around was great. I believe it is somewhat typical that the fountains were not working below you as you looked down from the TV tower.
What are you going to do when you return if you have seen it all now!
Oh my god! I can't believe you really posted that video! Haha.
See you later.
