Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, the second leg of my Uruguay trip

*


 Santa Maria, a view from Vanancio Aires, oil on card, 15 x 15 cm  - available



Santa Maria is dilapidated, but then so are most Brazilian towns that I`ve seen. And it isn`t without interest.

It has an old station, where I spent a good part of the day painting, and some good churches, including an, obviously British built, Episcopalian (now some sort of Evangelical Protestant). There are such British churches in many cities towards the border with Uruguay, especially in towns with railways.
