Wanderlust of a Flâneur: July 2015

My Commentary: After going to Cruzeiro to see the commemorations and parades of the Ninth of July (Revolução Paulista 1932) we went to Passa Quatro. It was my first time there and I got really surprised in how cosy this town is. Many historical buildings restored and in good conditions and a inviting place for strolling. This place was also part of the Civil War of 1932 and there were some signs and indications about that.

My Commentary: It's the second time I go to Cruzeiro to see the commemorations of the Paulista Revolution of 1932 on July 9th. The first time was in 2008, so it's been now 7 years. The event is still well organized, but in general it was shorter than before and I felt like the organizers were doing that by simple obligation of the date, not actually because they are proud to be from the capital of the Revolution. It's sad.
