To answer your questions:<BR>
Unbelievable as it may sound, yes, indeed, the 250 Brasilian Reais (ninety US Dlls., or seventy-five Euros) do include three nights' lodging, food for the four days, and all the festivities and activities listed, as well as transportation thereto and therefrom. Only alcoholic beverages, which are ridiculously inexpensive anyway, are extra, <BR>
To sign up, go to<BR>
www.caminhodesantiago.org.br<BR>
and, right after the introduction, click on the Brasilian, US, Spanish, Italian or French flag and you will go to the application, and related instructions, in the selected language.<BR>
Here In New York City there are several places on 46th ("little Brasil"), street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, through which one may send funds to Rio. All you need to do is provide the account to which the funds should go (that of the Brasilian Friends of the Camino) and tell them that you want to send 250 Reais. They will tell you the equivalent amount in Dollars and will charge about $1.80 for the service. I don't know how the transfer may be made through one's own bank, but I am sure that such a thing can be done.<BR>
Warm regards,<BR>
