    Visiting Mont Tremblant – Québec

    October 8, 2012 /

    I wanted to first thank you for the comments and congratulations on the post of 5 years! Thank you guys!! You guys who deserve the congratulations of holding me all these years, talking nonsense here on the blog … Hehehe We were in Mont Tremblant for the first time in mid-June with visits from Brazil, Adriana and Taís (Diego’s sister and cousin, respectively). We’d talked about jumping there a million times, but i never got a good shot.  Of course, our idea was to go in the winter, but we heard that it was quite interesting to go in the summer too, so there we went. We decided to stay…

    Thank you guys for the beautiful words of support in the previous post!! Next right, we are in the land brasilis. Yes, after many hours and delayed flights and consequently lost. But who followed on Facebook, we even had fun.  It's just that it was the following, from Ottawa to Detroit, where it would be our stopover, the flights were leaving late because of the weather, rain with lightning in Ottawa. Then our 1 hour and little space between this flight and the next, then leaving Detroit for Sao Paulo, was impaired, so much so that the airline attendant has already begun to check alternatives, during the endless check-in in…

    Brussels – Belgium | Tour Europe 2012

    August 27, 2012 /

    Brussels was last in our itinerary, we left to go on the way back from Amsterdam to Paris, where we would take the flight back home. We booked 2 more days to get to know the Belgian capital and I think it was good size too (staying only in the same city…). All that bothered me a little bit was the weather. From the photo below you can see that the sky was blue, but that was in the late afternoon, when we arrived at the hotel, exhausted… The next day, when we started the tours and the other day too, fine and cold rainy the day i-n-t-e-i-r-o. Needless to…

    Amsterdam – Netherlands | Tour Europe 2012

    August 19, 2012 /

    That’s what we thought when we were planning the trip to Europe. Because not knowing some more cities, since everything is so close compared to Canada and the States, and of course with Brazil as well. We decided then to go by train from Paris to Amsterdam first and without being the fact that we have to stay the 3 hours closed in a place with a baby who does not want to stop a minute, the trip was very pleasant. The trains are high speed (about 300km/h) and in three hours we arrived in the Dutch capital, without first stopping for passenger descent at the station in Brussels, Belgium…

    Paris – France | Part 3/final.

    August 11, 2012 /

    Phew, until at last the report of Paris. It’s just that you see, there were lots and lots of pictures in this unforgettable city. Many of them I wanted to show here and report what happened and such, but just can not, right. So I grouped the photos and even gave 3 posts. Finally, the last 2 days have been intense almost like the first few days. We selected the points we wanted to go and we hadn’t been able to get to know it yet and there we went…   The basilica was busy, but really quiet. After the huge crowds in the Louvre, all the seats seemed empty…

    July 25, 2012 /

    Well, third day in the French capital was busy. As soon as we managed to get out of the hotel, yes, because baby Alice likes to sleep late and okay, we don’t complain, we went to the Louvre Museum. After a quick breakfast, we enter this which is one of the most famous museums in the world. After the Louvre, we went to the Centre Pompidou, which houses a public library, the Museum of Modern Art (the largest in Europe) and the IRCAM (centre of music and acoustic research). Then time to visit churches. First the Sainte-Chapelle and then the Notre-Dame de Paris. Fantastic! And finally, we finished the day…
