After the long trip that I did of La Paz until Sao Paulo the reward was great since it waited for my family there to me, only lacked my sister and although I could not spend Christmases with them yes we greeted together the new year.
During this long return to the world, already we have said several times to it, which misses more is to the family and friendly so to have them close a time it has been my particular Christmas present!
Sao Paulo is an enormous city, say that dangerous and even ugly, but I, thanks coverall to Ucha, my sister-in-law who is one enamored with her city see, it with other eyes. I see in her his museums, some wonderful buildings (in addition if you have to an architect by brother who explains some details better to you)
A hotel in the form of giant Watermelon
The station gives Light of the city in center
I see immense parks in the heat of city that makes you feel in the middle of the forest, I see its Italian or Japanese and obvious Brazilian restaurants (special mention for the restaurant “Mining Consulate” in the place Benedicto Calixto).
Detail of a Orchid of the same park
I also see infinity of “butecos” (bars) where to taste a frozen beer or one caipirinha in one of the countless bars of Vila Madalena, I see its “fairs” (swap-meets) in the Asian district or in Benedicto Calixto, I see its great avenues in short, I see infinite reasons for which Sao Paulo can like and likes!
Besides my sister-in-law they exerted of luxury ambassadors its parents (coverall in my first visit for 5 years), my brother, Carol (a friend) and its brother who made us enjoy his guitar in some nights that we extended in its house or in a bar in which he acted and also Elen that took to a concert of Black River to us!
Thus the days in this giant of 20 Million inhabitants reasoned but between means in addition I enjoyed to two escapes, the first the beach, in house of the parents of Ucha, this to dismiss the year being able darte a bath to the beach is lujazo for those of the North hemisphere!
During afternoon of the 31 we made along with the neighbors a barquito of bamboo and coconuts and to 12 at night we gave it to “Iemanjá”, the goddess of the sea with some offerings and our desires for the 2009. With velitas in the boat and the fireworks that threw in the basic beach was exciting to see move away little by little it from the water, it was rare, in the beach all they exploded of joy and they destaban champagne, in the water although to few the 4 meters to that we had entered taking the boat surrounded the calm to us and it obstructed the emotion to us.
I returned to the reality when my brother worried about my called to me to shouts of return to the border… Later the night was extended, perhaps too much for my, as much that I ended up carrying out a somewhat embarrassing spectacle when remaining sleepy in the beach but good was year end… and… was year end… and… speaking of another thing…
Day 3 I to the state of Minas Gerais near a called town Gonçalves was myself my parents, their ins-law, my sister-in-law, my brother and, was of “pousada” luxury in a precious one where we felt as in house thanks to the familiar and amiable treatment of Isabel, the owner.
A blind dog did to us yes of guide (yes! Right of perpetual ownership that is thus saw better than we ourself) by a way that reason by the environs of the pousada one, exhuberante vegetation (precious the Araucarias) brook and views of dream!
On the following day the long walk already was more serious, about 20 km that allowed us to appreciate the beauty and the humidity of the place because it rained good part of the way, when returning to the pousada one always waited for buffets to us excellent! The truth is that sometimes it is pleasant to occur a luxury thus… we go that pousada and the menus were not equal just as with Kim and Charles in the rest of the trip, clear that as did not pay…!
Finally we raised a “escarped good nose” that allowed us to have good views of the environs, chained hills that remembered some landscape to me of New Zealand.
Also we went to visit the house of friendly that tired of the city and already retired had bought an enormous land in that zone (by the price of an apartment in Sao Paulo), and had a precious house, with cinema, a pair of greenhouses to cultivate all type of grass (he a great fan to the kitchen), a factory that nor the one of Bricomanía (he small hands), views of dream… in aim gave desire to go away to live to the field!
From we returned there to the large city where soon after Ana arrived (we are elaborating post on the Cantabruca at the moment I will only say that she has arrived with a stuck cloud at the buttock, rain persecutes to us and although certainly it is time of rain Charles and I do not understand as our luck in 10 months has changed so radically… then we watched of I avoid to chicarrona of the north and sighed…), and at the 3 days Charlie arrived, after a tremendous trip that left in ridiculous situation my 72 hours seems (already it will tell it to you). My father or had gone away but still we enjoyed some days by the metropolis before leaving back the comfort of the family and dirijir to us to Paraty, but that or is another history.
PS: Dear Bego our capacity of connection to the network not only is limited (we try to visit soon and to inform) but the presence of its daughter and the weather that has brought with himself sometimes makes the connection impossible.
PD2: Dear Sirs Count, I hope that although her daughter no longer travels with us continue reading the Web, Ana it is not nor it could never be a substitutivo of Cez (she is brown) we left agreed because solonos we considered able to fight with a woman per time, as or we said we are simple.
PD3: I hope that these postscripts do not generate a crossfire of declarations of angry ancestors… or perhaps yes?
