Brazil does not have direct access to the rivers of the Rio de la Plata region. The River Plate itself empties into the Atlantic in Argentina, meaning that for centuries traders have moved their goods down to Buenos Aires rather than carry them up and down the Grand Escarpment to get to Brazil’s underdeveloped ports. Brazil’s seven largest ports combined can handle fewer goods per year than the single port of New Orleans. Therefore, Brazil lacks the volume of trade it would like and most of its goods are moved along its inadequate roads rather than by river, thus increasing costs. Brazil will require a herculean effort to overcome its geographical disadvantages. — Tim Marshall

Why when we look at the land we can never see anything but our own faces. — Kim Stanley

Unwearied, and with springing steps elate, I had conveyed my wealth along the road. The empty sack proved now a heavier load: I was borne down beneath its worthless weight.

With the wings of a bird and the heart of a man he compass'd his flight, And the cities and seas, as he flew, were like smoke at his feet. He lived a great life while we slept, in the dark of the night, And went home by the mariners' road, down the stars' empty street. — Ernest Rhys
