"It's like trying to eat lunch in an outhouse," says English backpacker Brian Thompson, 22, pulling his t-shirt over his nose between bites of chicken at a little lakeside restaurant. "Tell you one thing, I wouldn't eat the fish." One restaurant owner says he's considering closing or renting the space to another operator, at a loss. "We used to have 15 or 20 tables a day.

"Lula is not crazy; he wouldn't sign any accords with Iran on nuclear issues, not even for peaceful means," said Camargo. "It's not viable politically. But we have plants that can enrich uranium for peaceful means and we think that Iran should have that same right."
