Hi " Spacerocksinc ", Anita and List:

Nice meteorite, nice picture! However, the captation should read:

Senhor , not Senór... and Fazenda, not Hacienda.
In Brasil, they speak/write Portuguese, not Spanish.

José Campos
Portugal

Senor and Hacienda are Spanish words that have made it into the English Language. Since the caption was written in English, I don't see a problem with the usage, However, not too many English speakers would know what a Fazenda is!

Of course technically speaking you are correct, and they do speak Portuguese in Brazil, although not the same Portuguese they speak in Portugal.

Sincerely,

Mike Fowler
