Brasilia (DF) – Passagem Rápida Pela Capital

Miles of road and finally arrived. The green and yellow Ponte JK gave us welcome in the capital of Brazil. A ideia inicial era passarmos a noite em Brasília antes de seguirmos em direção a Chapada dos Veadeiros, woke up so that the next day. But we could not resist. The architectural beauty of the city in getting seduced at least a few more hours in order to photograph the Tanajura parading through the national capital. No fim passamos um dia inteiro e ainda aproveitamos para resolver algumas pendências que nos restavam.

We were very well received by Mrs. Eliana Aloisio and his, guys do Bruno, addition to his son, Gabriel. We shelter the night before and met even in the midst of the rush hits his move to Sao Paulo, I was about to happen. The house was so warm that the will was there to stay the same. Papo de um lado e do outro e picanha na chapa, his specialty Aloísio, for dinner. Era tudo o que queríamos depois de horas na estrada.

The next day, went to the main sights of the city. We started by jetty, where there is a beautiful view of one of the famous lakes of Brasilia. The place is beautiful and has several restaurants around. That visit! After, We follow National Cathedral, a unique construction, restored a few years ago and houses beautiful sculptures inside. The next destination was the Three Powers Square, spending by ministries. The city's architecture really impresses. See symbolic constructions, As Congress and the Presidential Palace, of Perto, brought us a sense diferente.Mas only we realized that we were in Brasilia even when faced with the effervescence of a protest of a fishing community in front of Congress, claiming more support for their activity. Talking to local, told us that this type of event happening every week. E não é de se estranhar.

By night fall, witness the changing of the guard and the removal of the flags in front of presidential palace, which inhabits our Excellency President. Flags of Brazil and Mercosur are taken every day at 18 pm and are replaced at 8 the next morning. A bandeira da República foi mantida hasteada, indicando que a presidenta estava em casa. To try to say hello to our friend Dilma, sem muito sucesso.

We were just passing through Brasilia and we were not in town long enough to enjoy it best. As some of us already knew and our timing to get to Alaska before the weather starts to punish (by September) is apertado, we traveled. Moreover, a Tanajura estava cansada do asfalto e não via a hora de usar o 4×4 na Chapada dos Veadeiros.
