I arrived very earlier and the street were, except for the traders, empty.

One of the groups that participated on 21 February was “O Zé Pereira dos Lacaios”, the oldest group in Brazil, that was created in 1867.

Starting a master

In 2000, I moved to Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. After my round the world trip in 2019, I decided to move in 2020 to Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil and start a master at the Federal University of Ouro Preto. It is fun how life goes around.

I visited João Pessoa and I like the city, at least Manaíra where I stayed. You have a good number of restaurants nearby and Beach Road isn’t crowded.

Drive

We left Brasília around 5:30am and didn’t encounter any traffic on our way. We were also blessed with a great sun rise.

The journey from Brasília until Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park was around 3 hous long. And the landscape is amazing.
