Visitamos as Cataratas do Iguacu, um passeio que recomendo. Apos alguns estudos sobre onde ir e oque fazer, descobri alguma opcoes bem interessantes. Primeiro passo, ficamos em um hotel, localizado no centro de Foz do Iguacu, um hotel bem simples (Hotel Savaris), mas confortavel, porem, que nos permitiu chegar a qualquer ponto turistico facilmente.Do Hotel estavamos a exatamente uma quadra dos pontos de onibus. Utilizamos o transporte publico para visitar os pontos turisticos, cada passagem de onibus em media de 2-3 reais por pessoa, ja era suficiente para chegarmos a Argentina, Paraguai ou ate mesmo ao Parque Nacional, onde estao as Cataratas.Inicialmente, tomamos um onibus e fomos visitar as Cataratas do lado argentino, que achei bem bacana o passeio, com apenas 2 onibus e um total de 1 hora, atravessamos a fronteira do Brasil e Argentina e chegamos ao Parque Nacional do lado Argentino. La chegando, tivemos que pagar a entrada no parque, 45 pesos por pessoa, detalhe, levem dinheiro pois nao aceitam cartao e o dinheiro tem que ser em Pesos ou Dolares. Porem, pela minha pesquisa o acesso ao lado argentino foi bem mais barato doque se estivessemos entrado pelo lado Brasileiro. Apos entrarmos no parque, escolhemos um passeio que chama "La Grand Aventura" , decidimos fazer somente o nautico, que era oque mais nos interessava, ou seja, ir de bote ate bem proximo a garganta do diabo e tambem passar por baixo de uma das cascatas. O Passei custou 45 pesos, esse eu paguei em reais, e acabou me custando 100 reais por 2 pessoas.Depois de um dia de aventura em Puerto Iguazu, cidade Argentina, nos paramos na volta no Free Shop que esta na fronteira, os precos dos produtos sao bem mais baratos que os precos no Brasil, porem, eu achei os precos caros, pois tudo estava acrescido de 30% dos precos originais nos USA.Fizemos um passeio a Itaipu, a usina realmente impressiona com seu tamanho e beleza e por fim, terminamos fazendo umas compras no Paraguai, na Cidade Del Este, tudo bem tranquilo, super rapido e facil de chegarmos com transporte publicos.O Shopping Del Rey foi uma boa parada para compras, aproveitamos para ir no Casino de la e jogar uns dolares em Bingo :)Foto das passarelas que levam ate a Garganta do DiaboTuristas na Garganta do DiaboVista da Garganta do Diabo As most of you probably know, Montreal has just received a new car sharing service named "Car2Go", which works very similar to our bixi system, and when I say very similar, I really mean it. Not only it's easy and fast way of using the car reminds me of Bixi, but also the location where you can find a car available makes it very convenient for people visiting or living in MTL. Now, as Bixi, Car2Go can be very expensive and I am going to share my first experience with you all.After I applied online for a membership, I had to send a signed copy of an agreement by email and after, 5 business days I received at home my blue membership card which looks
like this one:If you are curious about how do I pay for this car, actually, when you create your profile, you will be asked to provide a valid credit card, which will be charged every time you use any of those Car2Go Smart cars.I decided to have my first experience last night, so the first thing I did was to download the Car2Go Iphone app, which I really recommend for those thinking of using this system. This app will show you where you can find a Smart available, and not only show you how far the car is from you, but will give you an idea of the percentage of fuel in the car, since I didn't want to stop to fill up the car on my short trip, so I selected a car showing 100% fuel which was located downtown Montreal, at Maisonneuve Ouest parking location near Peel Metro station.My final destination was at Avenue Decelles, as you can see on my bill details below.Before we get into the details of the bill, I need to say I was very happy that Car2Go folks gave me 30Mins Free to use the car and a free membership, since I used the promotion code "PATINS", totally cool.Alright, let's have a look at my bill, and as you can see, I was discounted 30minutes, actually 23min of my first trip going to Decelles and 7minutes on my way back and the rest (26min of 56min total) I was charged as described below.

You only tap your Blue membership card on card reader located in the front of any Car2Go, and it will unlock the door for you, this couldn't be any easier. (I actually missed the "GlimGlim"sound of unlocking a Bixi, but the WELCOME message that Car2Go gives you when you enter in the car, makes you feel special.)-You don't pay for GAS and you don't pay for insurance, plus if you have to stop for GAS, they will credit you free minutes.-Smart cars are amazing, very comfortable, they have GPS system, air-conditioning and heat system on their seats, which for winter is a big plus. I really enjoyed the ride listening to a nice music in the car.-Car2Go Website, App and in-car system is amazing, when you open the door of the car, it will talk to you, and I am not kidding.-Smarts
are very easy to drive and park, based on their size.-Super cool feature Car2Go offers is the "Reservations" option for any car, you have 30 minutes to get to the car once you have booked it, and you can cancel your reservation anytime you want within those 30minutes.-Free parking on street, that's another huge advantage of Car2Go, you don't have to worry about paying meters anymore (as long as you park within the Home Area or their designated parking area)-After you are done with your trip, once again you have to tap your card on the card reader in the car, and you are done. I really love this process, specially for folks like me, used to sign contracts every time I needed to rent a car, grabbing a car to go on the street without having to talk to anyone and no signatures, almost feels unreal. Cons:-Nothing is perfect, there are some improvements to be made on the system of Car2Go and the first one for me is the price. I drove 7Km, which in Summer I would bike, of course using Bixi, but I am not sure $10(incl tax) is the right amount for that trip, I would honestly expect a little less than that.-The GPS system was very slow in the car, and was telling me to go around, where it was supposed to tell me go straight. I ended up using google maps on my phone, which responded a lot better. Still minor improvements here would be nice.-I would like to point the GPS again, I could not find any where on it's GPS a button to find parking around me, I had to use my phone, which once driving is not cool way for users to do.-If you notice my trip back, although coming back to the same location, I ended up struggling finding the right parking area, that's all because the Home Area around my house, has some restricted parking for people living on those streets, plus there were extra signs showing those locations were not good for parking during a period of the morning. I saw another Car2Go parked on the same street, but I was still confused by where to park the Smart and worried about those signs, to be honest, I didn't feel comfortable living the car there, not knowing 100% I would not receive a ticket for living the car overnight on that street. I decided to go back to the reserved parking area, where I initially got the car. So, I guess if you are not totally sure where you can park the car, you could end up going around like me and being charged a lot more than you should, since you were not able to end your trip.In my opinion, Car2Go seems to be great if you use it for more than 30minutes and less than 1 hour, this way you will be charged only $13.99+tx . In my case, I used the car for 56 minutes in total, but by breaking 2 short trips of 23 min +
33min and my total cost was near $25. Not something I would consider paying for normal school trip every week. Another consideration, once I had to take a taxi from my location to the same address I drove and I ended up paying $15 each way. Not much of difference if you consider that Taxi, you don't even have to worry about any kind of damage of even parking the car. I will wait to see if Car2Go presents some good pricing for people like me, otherwise, I will keep using it only when my conditions described above are met.Hope you have learned something from this post, Cheers!
Aluninhos perfeitos que se dedicam e dao orgulho pra gente.O seguinte texto foi produzido pelas alunas da 8o serie do colegio Antonio Ramos para musicalizar uma imagem. Houve uma encenacao, onde o texto foi aplicado:"Debaixo da escuridao do submundo a explodirDemonios saiam das trevas e destruam a terracom as maos sedentas por sangue inocenteAs almas aprisionadas vagam pelo inferno Queimando em chamasEle estara la, em seu sono profundoMas tudo ira acabar quando nosso rei despertar". Se acaso um dia o amor bater a sua porta, nao tarde a atende-lo. Ah ele tras novos ares e te transforma como voce nem imaginava ser possivel. Se acaso ele aparecer em sua varanda, convide-o para a sua roda de mate, sorria pra ele, abrace-o porque ele nao te visitara muitas vezes. Se voce deixa-lo ir, talvez nem ao menos volte. Se o amor assoviar pra voce na praca, chame-o para sua partida de dama, trate-o como voce trata um grande amigo, um amigo que talvez nao volte a ver. Se um dia o amor aparecer com a chuva, dance! Se divirta como nunca, numa valsa bonita, girando e girando... rostos molhados, porque voce nao vai querer terminar a noite na mesa de carvalho do onirico bar, voce sabe qual e. Nao sabe? Receba o amor de bracos abertos, como um filho que volta do colegio, cheio de novidades. Receba o amor, voce merece. Melhores e mais densos, com menos rodeios menos extensos, fazem-me querer parar, olhar, ate quem sabe voltar atras, mas nao volto, porque aprendi um dia que situacoes foram feitas para serem vividas, problemas para serem solucionados, glorias sentidas, vitorias desfrutadas, vidas para serem vividas e amores, ah, amores nao foram feitos, eles so existem, melhores e mais densos, com menos rodeios menos extensos, fazem-me querer parar, olhar, ate quem sabe voltar atras... Enquanto o status vier antes do bem estar, na ordem das necessidades humanas, continuaremos nessa luta ignorante, que so busca provar o que nao somos, mostrando aquilo que ainda nao temos, tentando buscar aquilo que queremos ter, pra mostrar que podemos ter. Mas o ser fica esquecido nisso tudo, levando muita gente a cometer barbaries em busca de fama, dinheiro, riquezas uteis, mas dispensaveis. Tudo o que tenho e inutil para saber o que sou; tudo o que sou e inutil para ser o que quero, e tudo o que quero ser, e menos do que sou e do que tenho, tao simples e pontual, que talvez eu ate ja tenha sido sem perceber, podendo nao ser um desejo, mas uma saudade, e se nao for nao importa, pode ser saudade do que nunca fui, porque ja fui saudade, sem nada ser. Deus me deixe viver mais, eu quero sentir algumas coisas ainda, e quando me levar, me leve rapido: a dor nao e um gosto que quero saborear. Deus abra meus olhos para que eu encontre os olhos do meu amor no meio dessa multidao: o amor e um gosto que ainda pretendo saborear. Deus me faca sobrio, para encorajar meu filho a sonhar, me faca forte, para ve-lo
triste e nao chorar, me faca mais forte ainda para corrigi-lo quando errar, sem ter pena: pena e um gosto repugnante que nao quero sentir.Deus me faca humano para que eu sinta odio, mas mais humano para conseguir perdoar meu inimigo, e sorrir para ele, ah sorrir e tao dificil quando um no na garganta nos amarga o paladar. Pai me faca te encontrar, porque ainda nao te encontrei em momentos bons, so quando preciso de ajuda, e isso e repugnante. Pai me deixe ter amigos em que confie, e me faca melhor amigo de alguem especial, eu quero ser um protetor e me sentir protegido... Pai me mostre o caminho porque sozinho acho que nao vou muito longe; longo e tortuoso, ele me assusta e me desencoraja a continuar, mas eu quero, eu vou, eu posso, porque o senhor me faz vivo, abre meus olhos, me faz amar, me faz perdoar, me faz sorrir mesmo com gosto amargo na boca, me guia, segurando minhas maos e sorrindo pra mim, com ar sereno e misterioso, e nao diz nada, porque nao precisa. Olhos e silencio sao tudo, muito mais que o mundo todo dentro de mim.
Bem mais longe que o sol, alem do mar e o que eu posso enxergar, esta a arvore, envolta em uma fina nevoa. Esta tao frio, e ela tao sozinha, sustentando-se apenas por tenues lembrancas, que a cada dia se apagam mais e mais, e logo findarao, e o poeta que ali jaz, logo podera enfim dormir em paz, sem o vicio do belo... aos poucos liberta-se, mas sofre, por ter de deixar desamparada sua musa, ja sem folhas, neste frio, e afasta-se, sumindo na nevoa, com um sorriso nos labios tremulos, e uma lagrima que rola pelas macas do rosto. Vagarosamente a ultima lembranca se acaba, e enfim, o poeta descansa. Rosas sao vermelhas, violetas Sao Azuis...Esqueca essas rimas bobas que tratam de infindos firmamentosazuis.Apenas seus olhos me inspiram, ha tempos firmando a mao...Sobre um peito que alca voo ao convite do estomago que selanca...Cada vez que meus olhos encontram os seus, nessa lindadanca.Dance comigo essa valsa magica, de sentir amor...Habil gesto que se molda em nossas almas, sem pressa.Me apressa que quero te amar, girando e girando na praca adancar...Sem sentir mais nada ao meu redor, somente meu eu no seu. E voce em mim, assim... Do seu jeitin. ^^ Sem se importar com o que pode causar aos seus arredores, ela fala, insinua, pensa, diz e gesticula, levando a loucura uma mente insanamente fixa e espontaneamente sua, mas de longe, apenas de longe, como nos escritos de nosso mestre Platao. Hoje estou saudoso de vagas memorias nao vividas, vejo tao claramente, sinto tao intensamente esse gelido ar que estremece meu corpo proximo a cabana onde me atirei sozinho, que parece que ja vivi isso tudo. A macieira sem frutos, neste inicio de uma escura noite que me conforta, lembra minha mae, que me abraca e guarda. Ah... como amo este abraco, alias se pudesse passaria a noite neste bosque sob esta macieira, mas desde menino esse medo do escuro me acoita; chega tao de repente, bem quando esqueco dele so para dizer que ainda esta ali, e me faz pensar o que posso enxergar na calada da noite, ja que meus olhos fisicos ficam impossibilitados para tal. Voltando ao eixo desta prosa, que saudade disso tudo, desta solidao, desta cabana, deste bosque, deste ar gelido. Ignoremos, vamos dormir que ja e tarde... Hi, Hey, Hello and Peace!I know, has a few weeks I haven't written but I was giving opportunities to my friends share their histories, but... I'm here now!All this time I haven't written I was thinking about my life now. Thinking about how different my life is getting. Of course I came back to the college, to the church and to hang with my friends out. But, I feel different. I don't know for sure but it's like I'd have a mission to be done, a target to catch I don't know... I've thought "Maybe this is just on my mind" .... But if it isn't? I have to do something. I have to be a better person.So, my first and most important question to myself was:
How can I be a better person and what good people does to help other people? Well I realized I have to change myself first. I mean, Jesus made everything for me since the day I've born. He gave his blood on the Cross, when I was 8 years He became my father and I didn't understand first but He was watching all this time. Jesus became everything for me since the day I've born... How can I give that back? How be thankful to Jesus for everything He has made for me? Well, I see no better way then say His words for every single person I know! And I've realized "It's not that easy, because to say it, first I have to live it"After a few days I was thinking (Yeah, I think a lot) and I've invited to Minister His Words at 2 churches, and I went there and I've made my best... But I'm still thinking that this isn't enough so how can I be a better person?I was reading the Bible in 1 Sm 25 and there was David saying "The Lord which kept me back from hurting thee" because if David would hurt Saul he was about to make a sin, so God has stopped him. And I realized "OMG! If God did this to David, why can't God do the same for me?" and those words became my pray every day, but it still isn't enough.To be a better person you have to fight against yourself, to fight against yourself you have to believe you can win, to believe you can win you have to have faith, to have faith you have to have hope, to have hope you need reasons to fight. So I've started to think what was on game, what were my reasons to fight and I could understand...I'm not fighting just for myself, I still have reason to fight! I have to fight for my God, for my family, my friends and for all these people who doesn't know Jesus! I'm fighting to be batter person because Jesus needs me to give Him words to this whole world and I need to do this!So I was with a new project, a new purpose I thought that I was fighting with all I have... trying to be better, trying to do not do anything wrong, I'm giving of who I'm up, I'm forgetting my wishes and everything I want to be a better person, because Jesus said:"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." (Lc 9:23)... But, I still had that hole inside my heart, and I did not understand why...This week I was talking with a friend, a freshman from my college who knows almost everything I'm trying to be and he said to me: "The feeling I have is you are between with your past and your future and you don't know what do you wanna choose as well" and I spend a dawn thinking about those words and guess
what? He was right!!!Now my must important battle is: make myself empty of who I was to then become to who I wanna be.... I'm starting to be a better person. I'll never give up again! I don't know how do this yet. But I'll figure this out! If you are trying do the same, congrats the first step is done, if you don't... you should do it! In Christ, Junior Alencar Barreto
Hey, Hi, Hello and Peace.I think we probably gonna look back and say "OMG 2016 is finished? Really?"Like every year have been full of happy and sad moments, many of us have suffered and felt defeated but, guess what? We keep stand!We keep stand because of we had faith, because we have been strong, because we had family and friends and above all this, we had God.After the Christmas I went in my friend's house and he took me in his roof, he lives in a big building with 18 floors, and I felt great there, it was alike... I was in the skies, and that was a great feeling and I stand for a while and I thought "WOW, there's a whole world happening out there and I'm here, in peace"... "I have many things to be thankful for, and I started to say thanks to Jesus for everything he has done for me!" And when I say everything, is really everything, even for the illnesses.I think Christmas and New Year's time as sometime to reborn, to look to the past and be thankful for everything happened in the year there's about to be done. In the Christmas we celebrate Jesus' born, in new years we have a new opportunity to be a new person, to be a good person, to make everything correct and start loving each other more.If you have regrets, take a time today, to repair, make up and forget it..Do not carry your regrets to the next year, you must start 2017 with a free heart and mind, because if you don't, you probably gonna get hurt, again.What I'm trying to say is... We all have suffered in 2016, but we all got happiness.We all have lost someone, but we also have gotten more new good people in our lives.Who's saying this for you, is a person who has suffered many times in 2016, but I won't let the fear command me, I'll never let sadness occupy my mind, I have to fight! You have to fight!I've said this already and I'll say one more time....If you think you're weak, Jesus is powerfulIf you think you have limits, I say... You're limitless.Just believe in Jesus, He will help you in 2017!!!!You have to overcome the past to live the future.I wish a good 2017 for all of you!I'm thankful for the 60,000 readers in 40 countries I got this 5 months...Next year, we gonna see each other again.2017 is gonna be the year of love! Hi. Hey. Hello. Peace!There's a song "If you allow me get to the furnace Your promise is it won't burn" and I always liked this song because it give me faith. Faith enough to try one more time, to wake up every morning knowing that God is with me. I think I never had afraid of the death before that day, "The 5th day" I mean, no young guy one probably do it. When we are younger we guess that nothing bad will happens, but that day I freaked out. Can you
imagine yourself between the life and the death? Those is a thing I never could even imagine before that day. I remember my Doctor saying me: Ronaldo, the chance of losing you to the cancer is something very bad, but lose you to the chemotherapy is something I'll never let happens, it never happened with me and you won't be the first". That words are in my memories till today.Just to you know, when you make a chemotherapy you can feel nausea and vomiting, headache, toothache and as you know your hair starts falling. I always felt these symptoms, but that time, it was very very very strong than the others days, because when I was making that chemotherapy I saw myself throwing up at the hospital, and that nausea does not stopped, no matter what me or the nurses tried and in that day I've just understood what my Doctor was talking about, because that day when the chemotherapy finished and I went my home the worst started.I felt weak, powerless, with the biggest nausea I ever felt and I was no longer felling that faith I meant above, I felt scared, afraid of the death because when an oncology patient starts a vomiting crises and it cannot be control it means, the patient is dying. Well I guess I'm stronger than I think, because it pass and I'm still alive, so Thank You Jesus. We all have battles to fight for and I don't believe in little or big battles, what I believe is every single one has battles to fight for and you probably have your own one, so FIGHT! With all you have! But you should do it with love, faith, compassion and mercy. On the 5th day a woman was making chemotherapy in my left side and when I started throwing up she asked the nurses to let her to leave my side because "She was living the worst time of her life and she didn't need to see a boy throwing up" YES! SHE SAID IT, and it broke me, to hear that words broke me because I wasn't doing that by my own, I was having a bad time and that woman couldn't understand it.I started thinking "How can someone be here and doesn't fell mercy for the others? How can she say it? How could she be so hardhearted? How?" But, it's okay! She will see for herself and probably regress about what she have done!One more time, I forgive her!And you, remember..... TRY ONE MORE TIME!Try always one more time!
