Beautiful Buenos Aires

Vacation

I have recently traveled to Buenos Aires and since I've been there twice, you can imagine that it is a great place to visit.  We enjoyed a lot and I really encourage you to visit this bi centenarian city. Most of the places we've visited are great for children (my lovely daughter is three years old). Here are some photos to inspire you!

 The Mitre Station
Tour by the river "La Plata" 

  With Carol

Some people live by the river (It's only for rich people because it's very expensive)

 Fun in Temaiken

 Be careful with the shark!

Ouch!

Awsome!
The Woman's Bridge 
 Casa Rosada
 Siga La Vaca Restaurant

Great Wine, divine!

Some inspiring quotations

  • No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Ninguém pode fazer você se sentir inferior sem o seu consentimento.

  • It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Think about it!

November: Black awareness Month in Brazil




November 20 is Black Awareness Day in Brazil, and during this month several organizations are engaged in seminars, meetings and other events which aim to foster Afro-Brazilian culture and well-being.
The date was first obseved in 1960's and has been in the school calendar since 2003. It honors the day in 1695 when Zumbi, the lider of Palmares quilombo (a community of escaped slaves) was killed. Zumbi is one of the the national heroes honored at the National Pantheon in Brasília. Celebrate Brazil's black heritage in your encounters with people, music,food and traditions.
