South of Rio de Janeiro, only about 20% or less of men wear them.

There are some pros and cons to each:
Train...Ray,<br /><br />There are some pros and cons to each:<br /><br />Train: smoother ride, we slept better than on the bus, seats in the executive class are fairly comfy and recline nicely, A/C kept the executive cars quite cold (needed a blanket), scenic route through the mountains, duration of trip: 14 hours 7 am - 9 pm, cost of one-way ticket in executive class: R$70<br /><br />Leito Bus: very curvy and rough road through the mountains so you get tossed around a lot while you try to sleep, very comfy seats (think lazy boy recliner!), the fact that you have the option to travel overnight is nice, cold A/C (but not quite as chilly as the train), duration of trip: 8 1/2 hours, cost of one-way ticket: R$114<br /><br />Ultimately, I suppose it depends on your purpose. But if you are just doing it once and you have the time, I think doing the train one-way and either a bus or plane the other is a great way to travel between BH and Vitória/Vilha Velha.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624952545651275644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-4888202882358612172009-07-07T14:20:03.218-05:002009-07-07T14:20:03.218-05:00Dear Emily,
Gabriela is so cute it hurts...
...Dear Emily,<br /><br /> Gabriela is so cute it hurts...<br /> On another note, how would you compare the Train versus Leito Bus option on that route? Which one was your favorite and how long did the bus took versus the train?<br /> <br />Thank you<br /><br />RayRay Adkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956436835497979546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-84698191635647398392009-07-07T13:32:13.884-05:002009-07-07T13:32:13.884-05:00Looks like ya'll are having a good time.
