Chickens on the table....

I wanted to swim. Nowhere a swimming pool in sight. But then one day someone told us, there is one just across that busy road in your town. It belongs to a kind of club. So after forgetting about it for a long time, one day I just passed the place. The gate was open. Inside the grass was growing and growing....
It seemed abandoned, not cared for. Now this is a mistake people like me are likely to make in Brazil. Something doesn't look as clean cut as we are used to in Europe and you start thinking there must be something wrong. Although.... there were chickens sitting on the table...


The place in fact looked beautiful. Just the place to take some pictures. Before anyone tries to clean it up again.

Large lush trees provide shade. So good when temperatures are around 30 C all day. Here are not many houses with balconies (either too wet or too hot) in the neighborhood, so a fine place to read or just sit and rest.

The cock tries to order something from the bar. There is a large churrasqueira so maybe he is asking for a frango assado (fried chicken from the BBQ).

A place for the band. 

Space enough for children to run around.

All nice and airy, but extremely empty. There must be lots of people who want to have a party here.

 This looks like a fantastic meeting place for pensioners... Not bad to sit here for some hours discussing the major problems in life.

 

For the active persons there is a swimming pool, large enough to have competitions. And a separate pool for children.

 I would sure like to reserve this private place for the early evening....

Just waiting for someone to cut the grass.
