Antonia, Dulce & Gabriel visit Us at Rio Pequeno, 1st January 2014

On the 1st day of the year 2014, we had a surprise visit from our aunts Antonia who lives in Baurú-SP and Dulce who usually lived in Guarujá-SP. Our cousin Gabriel, Dulce's oldest child was the third party in the trio. We had breakfast as it was very early and then went to walk in our garden. Here are some of the photos taken on 1st January 2014.

Note: the Covid-19 pandemic ravaged Brazilian society as of March 2020. We're deeply saddened to declare that three people from these photos have passed away due to that scourge: Paulo Cesar de Oliveira, Dulce's cousin, died on 1st January 2021; Paulo Cesar Coelho died of a heart attack on 22nd January 2021, and Dulce Roza Amorim Coelho died on 30 January 2021.
