Bank Holiday Break
It’s a bank holiday weekend in Brazil: 7th of September is celebrated as our country’s Independence Day. Ironically, our extreme-right wing President has planned demonstrations across the country and some commentators predict he will try to use the date to install himself as a dictator.
What can I do in my pousada in the middle of the mountains? Nothing much except attend to the two couples staying with us and then rest in my hammock, with a podcast or a book, when I have a chance.
May there be no violence this 7th of September... it also happens to be the birthdate of my deceased brother Nicholas. 🕊🙏🏼
