Tiradentes Holiday

As we didn't travel this weekend, we went to Ibirapuera Park for a walk.

A coconut water...

It appears to be only one, on the branches...

An irresistible tree to climb...

Climbing...

High!

Sao Paulo, from Ibirapuera Park.

This is a new auditorium at Ipirabuera Park. It was designed by Niemeyer (the most important architect in Brazil, he designed Brasila) and it is a very interesting and controversial building.

Side view...

The lobby.

The main entrance...

The 'Oca'

Easter holyday

Click the link!

This holyday we went to a lovely place, a “pousada” – a very small inn, in a river island. There are only 15 apartments/chalets, and the ambient is very calm and family. The people we met there are very, very nice. It’s a pity that we hadn’t more time to spend there. One day, when you come back, who knows? Or when Guido and Ieneke come to Brazil???

PS. Tomorrow I'll publish the movies of the "Banana boat" shows.

Despite it appears to be easy to climb, it's not!

Cora and Joca, jumping at the afternoon...

Trekking at 16:44, but it appears to be late, and it's far away from a jungle...

Can you imagine, lay down at a 'rede' and stay watching the lake? Doing nothing?

Feijoada at a 'Fogao de Lenha'

Contrasts: clear and white buildings,

The old and the new together...

...and the poor and the rich buildings together.

Berenice´s performance

Ióri, you can watch a performance of Berenice, my piano teacher. Click here and try to explain to Guido and Ieneke what kind of music "chorinho" is. Sorry, the first minute is inverted...

Ieneke and Guido, I took this picture at Belem, twenty years ago. Certainly, it changed a lot and two old pictures can't describe anything about this magical place.

"Chapéu Virado" beach at Amazon River...

And a very old one, Iori, Joca and Cora...

Joca and Berenice, piano teacher.

No, she is not wearing a show costum (not yet)... It is only to show you that she changed her guitar. She preferred a Stratocaster instead of Les Paul.

Everybody has to work...

Barbacue!

Fernanda, Rose and Kleber.

Say hello!
