500 horsemen
With religious stuff Am just back from a Catholic Festival in Minas Gerais, it´s about 70 mins from Joao Pinheiro. The weirdest festival I´ve ever been to. We went on Sat afternoon until Monday evening. It´s a mix of wasted non-believers and wasted belivers. Everyone drinking beer all day long and going to mass! At 5am mass starts and it´s blared out all over the village from loud-speakers!
Weirdest thing about it is that there´s NO live music at all. It´s all crappy pop music at horrendous volumes from a million different cars (which subsequently caused lots of battery problems, ha ha). WRECK MY HEAD!!
It was really good fun at the same time and once we´d got back to Joao Pinheiro Henrique was feeling that he was missing a lot. So... yesterday afternoon we went back again, just me and him. I drove on the gravel road, but not very well and nearly crashed... Hum tee tum diesel engines are very different, that´s my excuse! We were back there in time to see a big procession gather at the church and hear a nasty little girl´s shrill voice screaching out some tuneless hymnal about God.
Incredible sunsets here- I wish
my camera could capture them how they are, but it´s shit and doesn´t.
