The Way
The SidewalkWe're going to start out with the mundane and end with something really less mundane! Yea!
The sidewalks are large tesserae that often have this curvy wavy design. Alida surmised that it was the mark of a particular sidewalk company. I thought it had some kind of meaning, but as usual in Brazil, things are never as they seem...
Time for repairs! Walking on this stuff in flip-flops was a good workout, especially since you were either going up a steep hill or down one. When I got back from my trip I could open a beer with my toes!
Dogs are omnipresent. This an attempt to keep them out of their garbage.
A common site was some kind of art embedded in the walls everywhere we went. Some were mosaics, some were reliefs, some were tiles. Pretty cool, i thought.
As Alida noted in her web log "liderhosen", there are quite a few citizens employed to keep the city clean. They do have litter baskets, but they are the cutest little things. In the historic district three street cleaners were sitting on towels scrubbing each rock!
I don't know what tree this is. These seed pods are about two feet long. When they mature they become dark brown and quite hard. Here I refrain from the peurile humor that these beg for.
A cock!Next time: Alida takes me to a Favela

0 comments! That just ain't right. I've been anxiously awaiting the favela post, although, not to disappoint, but that wasn't technically a favela. =)
love!
Yo, I be leaving a comment all up in this biatch.
That means you should post more. Hint hint.
