Post Card from Curitiba - Farewell

Curitiba is amazing. Let me count the ways:

Atlantic rain forest vegetation:

     

 

Innovative design:

Good food:

 Barreado de Morretes


 Two in one pizza:  marguerita and banana/chocolate. 

Street art:

Good weather (OK, maybe not always):

 And really fine people. 

Muito obragada. 

Até logo.

Parque Tangua

The park, on the northern edge of Curitiba, opened in 1996. It is an old quarry on the banks of the Rio Barigui.

The Botanical Gardens of Curitiba

I was very taken with the gardens and was especially pleased to see a fern tree. I had seen fern trees in the forest from the train.  I also spent some time watching the turtles.

I did also observe that for many people, the gardens were a beautiful back drop for selfies and more formally staged photo ops.
