different strokes for different folks

Everytime I feel their sarcastic smile, criticizing me because my inexperience in walking on ice or snow, I remember of them, wiping-out in waves of the rough Ipanema sea...

I slid, I fall, I laugh, I get up and restart again (nice and slowly). Hilarious!

I'ts all about practice... Everything is new now, but I'm getting used to.

Wait for that. Soon!

as soon as possible

Things to do list (during this year) - which, inclusively, EVERYBODY should do... at least once:

- diving into the sea and thank Iemanjá for her protection;
- being tanned;
- applauding Ipanema’s sunset (Guaíba’s, in Porto Alegre, I’ve already seen);
- walking around in Jardim Botânico;
-  taking a waterfall’s shower;
- eyeing with devote Christ the Redeemer;
- going to Candelária's and Penha’s Churches;
- dancing in São Cristóvão Fair (not only, but MAINLY, eating some typical food there);
- visiting São João Batista cemetery (os course: just for a visitation);
- ...

*What else I would like to do and I haven't yet, here in Rio? - or I wanna again, more and more as I could...? (after all, time flies!)

More: Who is willing to come along with me while I'll be satisfying my wishes?

here gones the sun

Uma salva de palmas: o sol se põe PERFEITO no horizonte, próximo ao Dois Irmãos.

Nesse instante, milhares de pessoas na areia, calçadão, no mar e sobre a pedra do Arpoador prestigiam de pé o astro-rei.

Soberano, redondo, impávido, ele mostra seu poder e dá sua última graça por hoje. Fascina.

Os assobios nos trazem de volta, sinalizando que ainda estamos aqui, embora os pensamentos tenham ido longe.

Para quem não conhece, esses são os fins de tarde de verão no Rio de Janeiro! - em Ipanema, e com louvor.
