That was the only redeeming feature. Can't imagine a cop in the US firing across a crowded intersection like that, though. They would let him get moving and then pursue. Helmet cams are just cool, ain't they? <grin>

My son in law is from Brazil, and my daughter keeps bugging me to go down there with them. Its a beautiful country, but plagued by crime and corruption. A shame. I'll just go to Hawaii if I wanna feel "tropical" in the winter, lol.

Grand Cayman is a ~3.5 hour direct flight from CLT, and doesn't suck too bad either <grin>

When I was working, a couple of years ago, I traveled to Brazil all the time. You really only have to be careful in the big cities. Out in the country side I always felt very safe. You should go especially if you have someone from there to show you around. It is a great country and very nice people in the smaller towns. At least that is what my experience was. don

Don, you are absolutely correct. In Rio, it pays to hire a guide to visit all the spots. And Sao Paulo with 10 million people is somewhere I would avoid. But the coastal areas are very scenic. I may get roped into going one of these days. But there are other places (closer) I would probably enjoy more.
