Brazilians love to celebrate

it's only 8:30 PM here, but there were many fireworks, it can be only explained that the people in Cuiabá are very cosmopolitan and commemorate the arrival of the new year all around the world, or, they are too drunk to know that it is not midnight yet.

the type of clouds only seen during the rainy season

another blue sky of Cuiabá

it was during the day, now it's raining, I think for good luck

it's the time to take the champagne out of the freezer
