On to Brazil

The Brazilian flag is composed of a blue circle on a yellow and blue background. Inside the circle is a set of constellations unique to the Southern Hemisphere, like the Southern Cross. Entering Brazil, we leave the Spanish-speaking world behind for a while. In Portuguese, "Ordem em Progreso" appears in the circle (order and progress).
