Back to João Pessoa, Jacumã and last carnival

Back to João Pessoa, the land that one day belonged to Potiguara natives and now is the crossroads of the north-east, the easternmost point of the American continent, green, young, shaken by the rhythms of the frevo and axé.
By now we are all friends and we race to the bloco virgens de tambaú, another street carnival theme of this endless journey in Brazil. The party seems unstoppable and people move to the beaches of Jacumã.
The sky begins to be tinged with unexpected dawn when greeting friends and I feel exhausted when waiting for the bus that takes me back to Salvador de Bahia: to João Pessoa goes a full thought of smiles and even some tears, a saudade…

Jacumã, the unexpected pearl

I went every day to the market, only to flood myself of colors, to get drunk of flavors, to live thousands of lives. So it happens in Jacumã, the unexpected pearl of the brazilian north-east (nordeste): enchanting beaches, almost deserted, nice and quiet people, art and colors, the welcoming pousada where I am located and that emanates an intense and positive energy. Magics of Brazil.

The sunset of a sun
fiery passion
dusk of a lifetime
devoted to the resurrection
how many angels will fall
to open a chasm
in our heart of steel
how many tears of heaven
to dissolve the spell
that denies us the free flight…
