Brazil: Week 20 - Videos from the First Half of the Year

I was back in Brazil this week, but confess I have done very little work on my project as my wife came back to Brazil with me and it has essentially been our honeymoon.  However, I have finally uploaded all of the videos I've made at the projects during the past several months, now that I have a little faster internet connection.
