Chillin and feeding monkeys

So, as our time in Brazil was coming to an end and having met some nice people, Brazilian and foreign, we decided to spend our last days taking it very easy...

We ended up in a little town north of sao paulo called Paraty. It is an old colonial town by the sea where restaurants, shops and houses are very well kept and decorated. Some of

the buildings are very beautiful inside, with lots of old stone and wood. it was delightful to wander around the streets.

We came at the end of a celebration of Santa Rita (they always have celebrations for a saint somewhere in Brazil...) which was nice because when there is a celebration they sell nice fruit cocktails in the streets!!

On our second day we Went with local bus to see a waterfall with a natural slide and a Cachaca distillery. The waterfall was not very impressive but the slide and surrounding forest was great. We both went down the rock which was the slide quite a few times: we are still kids when it comes to sliding down on water!!

In Parati when the tide comes in, the streets get flooded, unusual but very beautiful to

see the streets filled with water.

last but not least, one of the most fun things that happened in Parati was monkeys!!!
on our last night 8 little monkeys came around our pousada and we jumped on the occasion to give them some bread and try to touch them. They were very cute climbing down touching our hands and taking some bread! That same night was filled with very bad weather and lots of thunder and lightning, so we took the opportunity to make some mulled wine (glogg!) and spend the night outside under the roof!

thats all, now we are in Buenos Aires and starting our adventure in Argentina

With Love
Ola and Agnes
