Brazil

Day 23: São Luís to Alcântara

Impromptu party in Old Town São Luís outside the Café da Casa das Ferragens - Iron- mongers' House.	Learning soccer skills, barefoot on the flagstones.
Catching the sunset on a colonial balcony. Brazilians behind me seem less interested in the dying light.	The blue-glaze tiling that often came out from Portugal as ballast for ships. It looks lively and offers better protection to heat and rain than stone or wood.
