SO, WHAT DID WE DO IN THIS BEAUTIFULL TOWN…

honestly…taking a mental and psychical rest! :)

after one and a half month of constant moving it felt really good to finaly have a base for couple of weeks, to wash all the clothes, sleep in a nice comfy room and eat breakfast at home!

ok, so what did we actually do here. we didn´t just lay in hammocks in the back yard, eat home bananas and wait for araras and monkeys to come for a visit… some days we went to waterfalls. it´s interresting how this land looks so dry at a first site, but at the same time you can find water souces everywhere. we could be here for a month and still not see them all. eventhough roads there are not very european…let say it´s good to have a yeep, its really amazing what the nature can makes! well, all i can do is show you some pics… soon :)

other days we attend some social events, for instance one day we went to meditation or some sort of blessing, called deeksha: supposingly it helps you get more in touch with your self and centralized… quite interresting. another day we went to a concert in a house, shaped as a water drop. one lady played bunch of indian instuments and as soon as she started to sing, it was like she would start playing a cd (but she didn’t!)…such a full acustics…really cool. but not everything is so spiritual here. somethimes we go just for a beer with friends and a couple of days ago, we went to a party to a nearby town of sao jorge. in one word: wiiiii! you can check the happening on this link:

IT´S NICE TO BE IN A PARADISE or…alternative place indeed!

coming to manaus in the middle of the night and founding very good connection flight to brasilia, we decided not to stay and enjoy infected mosquitos anymore, but to continue with our moving and go straight to the airport. tiring as it was, additionally i had to deal with not-existing at 3 in the morning! imagine that your country is 16 years old and they still don’t have it in the sistem. ajajaj brasilians…and of course, where did i end up? under slovakia! :S funny…

anyways, here we are now, in the interesting small city, called alto pareiso - name itself can tell you it’s a high paradise. (i’m not sure if it is called this way cause it’s so beautiful or cause everybody is gettin high here :)) it’s like an old hippie town. :) but it’s very friendly, people are so nice here, everybody greets (read hugs and kisses) everybody, drinks with everybody,… and it doesn´t matter if you are x-mayer, producer, who supposingly has the world record of getting the most awards for short movies about nature, an alterantive american doctor, who just wrote a book about magnesium cure, very nice and sucessfull architect neighbour or x-miss of brazil (that’s marcelos mom, by the way).

acording to a name everything here is a little bit more alternative, spiritual… but like every town even this one has it´s “special” personalities and interesting, slightly different, sights. on the streets of this one you can meet lady ,who was married to an alien (he or it lives in japan, by the way), man with the horns,… go and see a sunset on the pista for aliens, visit church of transcendental music or do couple of months spiritual therapy in the nature…

interesting place indeed! :)
