27 and Sexuality
Sep. 17th, 2008 11:33 am27! Woot! It feels good to be alive!
The rest of this post I wrote Sunday, but I'd been too busy to finish and post it.
Today was Pará Pride! Belém hides its alternative side pretty well, but not for the parade. We took over two of the biggest streets and filled them for over a mile. People overflowed the street and climbed up the fences on either side to dance to four huge sound trucks. The parade ended at a large square which we packed with music, club lights, and discarded beer cups. The designated bathroom was a dark red wall with the words "proibida urina nesta lugar". It was an absolute blast-- but not the subject of this post-- and one of those parties that most people who come alone leave together-- which is.

My coop plans fell apart this weekend, so I'm leaving Belém! First I take a riverboat for a week into the Amazon-proper (there are no roads there), and then a flight south. I started packing last night, and it felt like a little part of my life was ending. Definitely a little part-- I've only been here seven weeks-- but long enough for my travel gear to get a layer of dust. I learned an awful lot, experienced some wonderful aspects of Brazil, and met a number of fine people I hope to keep in touch with.
