19 Aug ITABELA – 17 AUGUST 2019 – FIREFLIES

The early bird that doesn’t have a worm to catch may catch more than expected. Today we rose with the sun because we all had to take a shower before the terrace opens; cold shower because the hot water in Bahia is only for coffee and tea. 

After breakfast, we drank our coffee on the docks up until noon. At noon we made another coffee for the road and when we wanted to leave we realized the car battery was empty. 

The fishermen brought a boat battery in an instant and in less than half an hour we were on the road heading North-West. 

We drove slowly and enjoyed the scenery.

I may add that we don’t drive faster than 80 km/ h, I am more relaxed than Bob Marley.

In the evening we stopped at an inn and parked behind it, far from the road so that we don’t hear the crickets crossing the road.

After dinner, I stayed with Lavinia on the terrace and watched the fireflies. 

A faster firefly flies directly between us and makes our eyesights cross gently. 

Our eyes got softer and a smile escaped through and flew to the moon. 

Lavinia is so beautiful!

LICURICI

Cine se trezeste de dimineata si nu are unde sa ajunga, va avea mai mult timp.

Astazi ne-am trezit odata cu soarele pentru ca a trebuit sa facem cu totii dus inainte sa se deschida terasa de unde avem noi cheia. Dus rece pentru ca apa calda in Bahia este numai pentru cafea si ceai!

Dupa micul dejun ne-am baut cafeaua la docuri pana la pranz.

La pranz am mai facut o cafea pentru drum, iar cand sa plecam ne-am dat seama ca bateria masinii este descarcata. 

Au scos numaidecat pescarii o baterie de la o barca si in mai putin de jumatate de ora eram pe drum cu directia Nord Est. A

m mers incet si ne-am bucurat de peisaj. Precizez ca nu depasim viteza de 80 km/ ora, conduc mai relaxat decat Bob Marley.

Pe seara am tras la un han si am parcat in spatele lui departe de sosea, pentru a nu auzi greierii cand trec strada. 

Dupa cina am ramas cu Lavinia pe terasa ai am fugarit licuricii cu privirea. Un licurici mai zbanghiu trece glont printre noi si face ca privirile sa ni se intersecteze cu blandete.

Ochii ni s-au inmuiat si un zambet a scapat pe sub guler si a fugit spre luna. 

Frumoasa este Lavinia!
