Mosaic pavements
Brazil is very keen on mosaic pavements and walkways. You can see the type of surface shown in the photo in many places and in other parts of South America. For example we saw a lot in Argentina.

I wonder why this is. It must take so many hours to lay these surfaces. The one in the photo is two and a half kilometres long and is the path which runs behind the beach in Jurere. So many individual small stones to lay.

It looks great, but it does make you wonder about what government money should be spent on. This is not a criticism, just a thought!
