&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Este
post, assim como outros que temos sobre as aventuras de Felipe Wasser neste
blog, não tem muito texto, mas tem muitas imagens – o que nos agrada muito.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This post, like others we have about
the adventures of Felipe Wasser in this blog, doesn’t have much text, but has
many pictures - which we like very much.













&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Felipe um dia resolveu ir
até Santa Cruz de La Sierra, na Bolívia, sozinho, usando como transporte o
famoso Trem da Morte, partindo de Corumbá, MS.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Felipe one day decided to go to
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, alone, using as transport the famous Death
Railway, going out from Corumba, Mato Grosso do Sul State.











&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Quando soube que havia
muitos traficantes e ladrões no caminho, tomou a iniciativa de usar roupas
velhas e até mesmo um chapéu velho, para tentar se misturar no meio da
multidão.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When He heard that there were many
drug dealers and thieves on the road, took the initiative to wear old clothes
and even an old hat, trying to mingle in the crowd.











&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;O fato é que, como vocês
podem perceber, mesmo mal vestido, ele ainda se destacava das pessoas ao redor.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The fact is, as you can see, even
poorly dressed, he still stood out from the people around.











&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Felizmente, a fama do
trem se deve mais ao fato de muitas pessoas que participaram da construção da
linha do trem terem morrido de malária do que de assaltos e assassinatos
propriamente dito.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fortunately, the fame of the train
is due more to the fact that many people who participated in the construction
of the railway line had died of malaria than of robberies and murders itself.











&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Felipe foi só, e trouxe
desta viagem vários instrumentos musicais típicos da Bolívia, além de manta de
lhama e outros presentes para a família e amigos.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Felipe was alone, and from this trip
He has brought several musical instruments, typical of Bolivia, and llama
blanket and other gifts for family and friends.














&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;O que me chama a atenção
é sua coragem de fazer uma aventura como esta sem nenhuma companhia. Uma de
suas frases prediletas era: “... quem vai, vai... quem não vai, fica...”, e
quem ficava pensando se iria ou não, ficava pra trás.



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What strikes me is his courage to do
an adventure like this without any company. One of his favorite phrases was:
"... who's going, is going ... who will not go, stay ...", and who
stayed thinking if would or would not go, stood behind.
