Forró na praça da Sé

A cultural and fun afternoon... São Paulo, São Paulo...

Well, windy and rainy Saturday... Sarinha and I, in an adventure around the centre of São Paulo...

First stop.... Sé Church!!! Amazing, massive, beautiful!!!

Besides the cold weather and all the poor people around there, some were dancing!!!!

"Forró at Sé Square"...haha

~~~~~~~~

Well, we also went to Pátio do Colégio - the first school in São Paulo, and where the city was founded.

The "biggest" white house at the top is the school...

Hummm.... in this cold... let's have some coffee and cake.... (obs: SARINHA had two slices of cake! haha)

Then, we had a mission: find the place with the strangest name ever............ Beco do Pinto!!!

Well, apparently, it was named after the former owner of "Solar da Marquesa de Santos" (yep! we've been there too!), Brigadeiro José Joaquim Pinto de Morais Leme. It seems he had a bit of a problem with his neighbours, so he wanted to close the passage next to the house... hihi

When we found the place - and the reason of the name - we found out it was just......

THAT!!!!! Casa da Imagem, Beco do Pinto

e Solar da Marquesa de Santos

The Solar da Marquesa de Santos was a bit better, and Sara and I had a lot of fun there.... hihihi

Relaxing in the bath... A view from the balcony...

Ok, ok....

... there comes the Contess... hahaha

Please, come rescue me, my King Arthur....

Then, rain started again, and we rushed to Shopping Light, but we went to Viaduto do Chá! It was really cold..... bbbrrrrrrr

Teatro Municipal..... no words, eh?

We did lots of other things... Took funny pics wearing horrible glasses... But, Sarinha has these ones... I will post them here soon...

See you next time..

A whole week....

We know that on Monday we feel sleepy and lazy...

On Tuesday, we feel bored...

Wednesday is a bit better...

Fed up on Thursday...

Then Friday comes and we are all smiles....

Why waiting for Friday??? NOW is the time!!!

Dress your best...

Go out on a date...

Invite friends over...

And remember: you don't have to wait for the weekend to have special moments...

... have a great weekend and make the new week to come even better!!!

God bless you...

D.

Mum, can I just stay home today? haha

Oh, man...

I swear to you... I really wish I could be in bed now, under my blankets...

It is such a cold day today... bbbbrrrrrrr

A flower of God´s design

"A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in the garden one day. Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was asking the older preacher for some advice.

The older preacher walked up to a rose bush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing any of the petals.

The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the will of God for his life and ministry. But, because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try and unfold the rosebud while keeping every petal intact ... It wasn't long before he realized how impossible this was to do.

Noticing the young preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud without tearing it, the older preacher began to recite

the following poem:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is only a tiny rosebud

A flower of God's design;

But I cannot unfold the petals

With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers

Is not known to such as I.

GOD opens this flower so sweetly,

Then, in my hands, they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,

The flower of God's design,

Then how can I have the wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So, I'll trust in Him for leading

Each moment of my day.

I will look to Him for His guidance

Each step of the Pilgrim's way.

The pathway that lies before me

Only my Heavenly Father knows.

I'll trust him to unfold the moments,

Just as He unfolds the rose."

When I'm sixty-four....

When I get older losing my hair
many years from now
will you still be sending me a valentine
birthday greeting, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
would you lock the door
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy mending a fuse
when your light have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings, go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

Every summer we can rent a cottage
on the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
stating point of view
indicate precisely what you mean to say
yours sincerely wasting away
Give me your answer fill in a form
mine forever more

Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

(The Beatles)

Well, this is a song my student showed me the other day... Could anyone ask for more??? I hope my love and I can add some dancing and talking and cwtching and toinging to all of the above! haha

Amo você, Will. Pra sempre! xxxxx
