Our tour ended at the communications tower where there is a market most weekends. We went up the tower (75m) and saw lots of neat crafts and clothing and art and instruments etc. in the market.
Pictures!!
This is me outside of the Brasilia cathedral. The part that is above ground is actually the ceiling of the cathedral, and the statues outside are Luke and John. Matthew and Mark didn't make it into the picture, but they chill out front of the cathedral too ;)
You can see the stained glass from the inside, which is very beautiful, and three angels that hang from the ceiling. They look like stone, and they are a very nice touch in the sanctuary. It is very simple there, with lots of light. I liked it a lot.l
This is a bridge from near where the President lives to one of the mansion districts outside of Brasilia. It is a pretty cool design, with the arches going over the road in different directions.
A picture of me outside the entrance to the yard of the President's house with the decorative guard who stands there and his spokesperson :) 
This is one of some emu that live in the President's yard! And you can see a bit of the end of the President's house. Just imagine like, 12 more windows like that and you get the idea. I was more impressed with the emu!
This is a picture of the city taken from the radio tower - Brasilia is built in the shape of an airplane, and this picture is directed towards "the cockpit" of the plane, where the government sits. The tall white building in the middle is where congress sits, and the greenish whitish buildings are the offices for the different ministries. Residential areas are in the "wings" that you can't see - to the left and right of the city's core.The Market
