How long to the weekend?

"Deus é um cara gozador, adora brincadeira

Pois pra me jogar no mundo tinha o mundo inteiro

Mas achou muito engraçado me botar cabrero

Na barriga da miséria nasci brasileiro"

- God is a funny guy, he loves to play jokes

‘Cause to throw me on the world, he had the whole world

But he thought it wold be funny to make me suspicious

Poor as hell I was born Brazilian -

When you're starting, probably, the most stressful week of the year, one can only listen to Chico Buarque and dream of the ocean...........

  

Just take a look around...

Wandering through São Paulo streets on these sunny winter days...

"The falling leaves drift by the window..."

"Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for 
Most nights I don't know anymore...

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win..."

(you can listen to it here)

Remember the days...

...the warm sunny days, followed by cold nights around the fireplace...

Last week was just crazy busy at work. Now it's just busy...
There's a lot going on in every single aspect of my life and I just don't feel I have the time to deal with it all... 

in a Lennon mood.

Sorry, you will have to put up with a few more images of my amazing break!

When you need a break...

... take a break!

no cell phone reception; laying for hours in the grass; the greatest company for talks, walks, laughs and tears; marshmallow in the fire; afternoons in the hamac; pictures; walks; waterfalls... 

and some music
