SÃO LUIS

Images from the streets of São Luis, Brazil. This city was founded by the French and later taken by the Portuguese. Its historic downtown, where these pictures were made, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. São Luis is a troubled, but beautiful place.

Temos Vigia, or "we watch" in Portuguese. A series of the signs were posted on random walls in this neighborhood, a notorious red light and drug infested area.
