Just behind Sao Gabriel, there's a forested hill called Boa Esperança (Good Hope). I walked up it one morning once the heavy rains cleared.
Dominique and her brother Kersalo were playing together at the first stage of the cross, when I started the walk.
A green painted house.
Flowers and berries on a shrub.
One of the stages of the cross, half way up.
Despite the very professional-looking warning not to light candles at the foot of Our Lady, its a hard tradition to break.
Nossa Senhora and Jesús.
Blue cross.
The usual grafitti. Priscila seems to have a crush on everyone.
Bromeliad on the way back down.
Quaresma flower up against the back of a stage of the cross.
