Words were floating on the breeze...

In the second day in Itanhaém, after a marvelous night of sleeping (I slept very better )
we went to the beach again on the morning, of course!

But our surprise was the firebrigades' helicopter on the beach! Someone was drowning and the firemen was there to save him.







It was bad to see people running and crying. Desperate is not a nice thing to see.

But after firebrigade put evrything in order, we could enjoy the water. The sea in this day was a little violent. And the sun... My God!!! was so hot, so hot, that I had the impression of burning my skin. Even using protector skincream...

We spent some hours at the beach and when decided go back to downtown. In the previous day we saw a nice restaurant on the central square and thought it could be nice to prove the food.

So, we did.

At the restaurant I was totally enchanted!!! Keroseni and Juju too! So nice and cute! All was prepared with care. And the food was delicious. The restaurant calls "Casa da Panqueca" or Pancake's House. In Brazil we eat pancakes not as a candy food, but salty! With a lot of kind of fillings.












I :loved: the place. After had a lunch, we went to the local museum.

This museum is an old convent. Has the same date as the construction of the city, 1533. Was created by the portuguese missionary José de Anchieta, who established the order of the Jesuits in Brazil to turn the indians into catholicists.

To arrive in the convent you have to go up a high slope. Oh my God!! in the middle of it, you think you gonna die




But the view is amazing and it pays all the efforts you do to arrive there!



Inside the convent, we saw a small church, of course, as it have in all the convents:




In the museum there is a Pelourinho. Pelourinho was the place where the slaves were spanked and massacreed in order to keep their obedience to their owners. This Pelourinho stayed in the central square in front of the church where was found in 1971 and were left to the convent.

As you can see in the image, the pelourinho is a big stone where the slaves were moored with chains and there spanked. Sometimes till death.






A very sad part of our History...
