Travels in America

An Illustrated Talk by Brian Mathieson

The talk will be given by Brian Mathieson, Plymouth u3a Treasurer.

The Metropolitan Cathedral and belltower in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite his many trips abroad, including going around the World twice, Brian had never been to South America. When the American football team was selected to play the first ever game in Sau Paulo, Brazil, there was no stopping him. Brian does not do things by halves, so he added a bit more onto his tour by going to Rio de Janeiro, then Buenos Aires and over to Lima in Peru.

He then went north to Los Angeles to watch another game of football just because he had never been to the West Coast of USA.

In between the sport, he fitted in visits to art galleries, museums, churches, palaces and parks, taking lots of photos along the way. If you are interested in art, religion, architecture, history, wildlife or travel then this talk will be of great interest to you.
