Difficult to find the right place...

Looking for new flowers, it's the spring season. 

It's hard to resist...

At the end, when the weekend is finished, the Moon shows herself shining over our frustration... 

The wheather ruinned our beach plans

It´s raining all the week, and despite our hope to have sun this weekend, ´São Pedro´ betrayed us.

So, we´ve decided to stay at home and walk around. One of the places we didn´t visited yet is Paranapiacaba. It´s almost a phantom city in the middle of the rain forest in the way to the littoral. We had to leave the highway and get some old roads. The city was built at the end of 19th century by English engineers that came to Brazil to build a railway between São Paulo and the littoral. Then, the railway system transportation was abandoned by the Brazilian government (!!! no comments at all !!!), so, the city was abandoned.

Nowadays there is a restoration program from the local government. The objective is to make a touristic point, the hope of the people of the city is to preserve and make a right restoration.

We spend all the day there. It was a very nice outing.

Yeah. we rather prefer to be at beach, but... what can we do?

This is the English part of the city...

And this is the Portuguese part.

The vegetation has invaded the landscape and man´s construction.

It´s almost impossible to distinguish, but it´s another abandoned train.

And there are kind of 'pousadas'... Can you imagine a nigth here? 

Yes. Really, it´s a phanton city.

Look at the roof...

Phanton city? 

Another piece of history, abandoned. Beatiful. 

Different ages. 

The grass is taking it. 

He has the city rythm... Why should I care? 

Another beatifull sign of life. He was very convicted to pose to us...
