Coconut trees

Brazil did not have coconut trees when it was colonized by Portugal in 1500. The Portuguese navigators brought coconuts to Brazil from India. Then, today the brazilian coast is full of coconut trees. Picture by Mateus Mendes, my son.

Water Castle

My bicycle and the ruins of the fortress, in background. This fortress was builded in 1631 by the Portugueses. The Dutch conquered it and called Water Kastell. This region is Saint Augustine Cape, a town near Recife.

Our Lady of Nazareth

This is not a religious blog, however Brazil has many nice old churches. This is the Our Lady of Nazareth Church that began to build in 1597, wow! This church is in Saint Augustine Cape, a town near Recife.

A boat on the river

.

To begin the week, an image of the weekend. When I did go to the beach by bicycle, I saw these two fishermen in a boat. They were searching a nice place to fish. This is the river Jaboatão, it separates the cities of Jaboatão and Cabo de Santo Agostinho, both in Great Recife. Have a nice week for all.

Quando fui de bicicleta para a praia de Itapuama, no fim de semana, encontrei no rio Jaboatão esses pescadores.

Sun & Sunday

.

Brazil is a tropical country, of course. The most of territory is situated between Equator line and Tropic of Capricorn. Recife has an average temperature of 28 grades Celsius at entire year. We live almost an eternal Summer in Recife. In Recife and Brazil, Sunday is a day to go to the beaches. So, I bring this picture of colorful parasols I took in the Itapuama beach, a pretty place located at south of the town. Have a nice Sunday!
