19th Century Traditions

Following the street where I had photographed 'Banksy Was Here' and 'After Time After', there is the college entrance where usually I meet my class. Standing before the college, a wood building is visible behind the trees. The place open sometimes, to gathering peoples that celebrates a sort of 19th century traditions, keeping it still alive in memory and bringing it to the young ones, including clothes, style accessories, music and dance.

For the rest of the country, peoples that comes from our state are called Gaúchos.

It's hard to hide our accent, part influenced by frontiers and proximity with countries that speaks spanish languages like Uruguay and Argentina.

 

Recommended lecture:

The bloodiest civil war to have ever occurred in Brazil at wikipedia.

Cavalry charge were still very effective at the 19th century warfare. ;-)
