Hi Cris,
What beautiful buildings around your area. How old are they??
:)
Lindas estas casas de fazenda Cris! Fiquei com muita vontade de conhecer o interior delas. Devem ser lindos! Percorri também o link da Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza e achei tudo muito bonito, os cotagges são uma graça! E veja que curioso, visitando o site descobri fotos de um artesão, Renato Imbroise, que foi logo no início de seus trabalhos, aluno da minha mãe, de tear manual. Mundo pequeno!
Beijos!
Susie, the houses downtown are almost 100 years old. The other buildings I could not find any info on them, but probably the blue house is over 100 years old, because it has large basements, which were common in the late 1800's. It is a beautiful farm, with lakes and narrow dirt roads.
Sonia, em 1986 foi filmada a minissérie 'Memórias de um Gigolô' com Bruna Lombardi, lá nos casarões, inclusive o primeiro da foto. Infelizmente as casas não estão abertas para visitação. Conheci por dentro uma delas, que era de minha madrinha, uma casa linda, com colunas internas redondas pintadas, como de igreja. Mundo muito pequeno, mas em que cidade sua mãe dava aulas? Bjs
Excelentes fotos!Estas casa de fazenda fazem-me lembrar muito cá em Portugal as casa do Alentejo.
Olá Cris,
é verdade que as casas são muito bonitas e, sobretudo, muito parecidas com algumas que ainda existem em Portugal. Mas isso não é nada raro no Brasil, tanto quanto já vi...

Cris, as usual, you had a great insight when taking these pictures: the gates and fences "disappearing" result in a very beautiful and subtle effect... ;o)
My heart is always open. I'm coming :-). Thanks for the invitation.
Catcher... são as impressões digitais de Portugal no Brasil, nossa identidade e semelhança cultural. Obrigada pela visita!
Gil, realmente no país todo você vê este tipo de construção. Eu particularmente gosto muito, tenho boas lembranças de uma época que não volta mais, pois quando pequena meus avós moravam numa fazenda assim, só não eram os donos. :-)
Cinara, thanks, I was thinking about our own lives... that we could build fences to keep people in, not out. :-)
Britt - the welcome mat is always at our door! Come anytime!
It looks like a lovely area. I like the blue posts on one house and the flowers peeping over the brick wall.
Hi Cris,
I tried your coleslaw recipe: Great! Even the ladies in the house praised the result...
Thks

What a lovely place!
Such beauty and character. That is what neighborhoods used to look like...Now they build twenty houses that all look the same. Just not the same.
Take care,
Connie
Kenju, thanks, white and blue are like "official" colors of these old farms, they date back to the slavery era, from XIX century. The last one is an abandoned house, it looks like a small train stop, but I could not make sure with anyone in the area.
Gil, glad you got to try the recipe, hope you get to try many more!
Ash, thanks for visiting my blog!
Connie, you are soo right, now we put walls around us... hope people are not not learning the ability to let people into their hearts. :-)
Que vontade de viajar por aí !
Oh, these photos are wonderful. I´m impressed by this.
Hello Cris,
wonderful pictures. Remember my Brasilvisit two years ago. We had vacation near Natal. It was wunderful. I loved the people around there.
Greetings from Sweden
