Moça de corpo dourado
do sol de Ipanema
ah, se ela soubesse
que quando ela passa
o seu balançado é mais que nada


Sai da minha frente que eu quero passar
pois o samba está animado
o que eu quero é sambar


olha que coisa mais linda
mais cheia de graça
uma menina como esta é tão legal
que vem e que passa


você não vai querer
que eu chegue no final
o mundo sorrindo se enche de graça
e fica mais lindo
por causa de amor
                                          
( by me,... and inspired from the two famous, La garota de ipanema and  mais que nada )




I am back to Sao paulo. after a two week trip to rio and the costa verde. Two weeks as a tourist with benji & friends. Walking on Copacabana beach, Ipanema, living samba with cariocas in la ciudad maravilliosa...three days at the feets of the famous pao de azucar or under the sight of Chrito redemtor.
Then we move to Paraty, a nice little historic village on the sea side,...and then to isla grande,...  with wonderfull beach,  jungle,...and wildlife. We went for a few boat tour, snorkling, taking the sweet winter sun of the tropics,... 

Benji holidays are finish now, and he took his plane back to france on sunday night... I am seriously thinking about going back to rio,... tomorow ??

sol oro mar tranquillo
vuelo posado viento susurro
pluma gaviota parajo cualquiera
volar descubrir illusion altura
agua alas mundo pensar

patas cuerpo difficil planeo
huesos plumas albatros pelicano
saber esfuerzos hambre verdad
aprender util libertad tiempo
feliz practicas olas segundos

cuidado habilidad control velocidad
fuerza plumas arriba vertical
lograr levantar vivir respirar
clave velocidad angulo terrible
duro grito noche frio

blanco alumno descansar luchar
obscuridad horas deseo vistazo
libertad circulo luna ser
amar creer estar volar
dia preguntar idolatrar esperanza
luz madre semanas centimetros

empezar cuerpo corazon seno
gustar parajo pronto y siempre

I bought a ticket for Sao paulo, .... 60 hours drive to brazil,... to meet a friend,... to share a couple of drink with Benji. It is nice to have a travel plan, it is even better to change it. I might go back to buenos aires later, in july. I will leave Valparaiso on monday to stay a few nights ( and days) in Santiago. I have meet Carolina, a old friend of Mathieu, who was living around here 4 years ago. Mathieu and Benji are two long term friends, and I don't have many. Travel make you have a  strange relation with others, I know a lot of places, a lot of people, I know and I don't. I am becoming a ghost in friendship, ... a ghost in love,... in  the place I am been living too. A lot of people I know are no more than contacts on my e-mail adress, who have been friend for a day, a night,... a month, a place. Relationships and travels are a extra work when time comes to keep everything together,... in time. And for this the use of internet is becoming important,..."my on-line family". Guillermo is a guy I met in a roman bar " freni e frizzioni" last august. We should meet again in Sao paulo next month,...He is one of many,... friend or traveler tip,...future will tell. we had a nice evening when we met,... I remember because my brother Thomas was there,... and we where both surprise to know a fan of asterix from brazil. The only french word he knew was " Sanglier", Asterix and Obelix 's favorite dish (with roman soldiers). Those roman apperitivo were always full of surprises because every single person was there to have a buffet dinner for the price of a drink, ...ship and crowded.

yesterday morning I have been for a nice road trip along the coast with "Filou", the french owner of the place where I am staying. I get to know him and his hotel with the indirect help of Bertrand, Another french living in "Valpo". ( bertrand is a person I know from his website,...here )

Today, all paraiso is under heavy smog,... I wanted to wake up and take a few color picture,... might have more luck tomorow,... I don't blame the waither, because I have been quite lucky for the last  2 weeks. I will leave Chile on the first of june,... The winter is here, even if I don't feel no change in temperature ( I am going north since nearly 2 months now). I will remember Valparaiso for a long time, ...with it's smells, noises and colors. Every single barrio is a village on his own, people act like if the weight of this big city wasen't there. Everybody seems to know all the inhabitant of his "cerro". The gaz bottle distributor is making his drum music with a stick along the small streets,like It was in barcelona,... giving rythme to every single morning. The  barking dogs like lyrics to the music of life. Colorfull houses hang up to the montains till the limit of my sight, street going up and down every ten meters, ... all of this close to the sea, the big port and traffic. Poetic, artistic, dodggy,...latin artfacts on tha walls, live is just about everywhere,... this place is a spring of inspiration as it was for Don Pablo Neruda.

Bon,...mon appareil photo ( celui que je ne me suis pas fais voler...l autre) est chez le reparateur.

J'ai une chance de ouf ces jours ci,... et je vais passer les prochains, sous la couette, ...c est le mieux a faire, a lire ou a dessiner,...et puis a repondre a vos si nombreux commentaires, ....
