Cartão-postal de Paraty
Júlia writes to her grandmother from Paraty: old stone streets, white houses whose doors each have a colour, many small shops, an old bridge and a huge tree, a calm green sea, very good but slightly expensive food; the trip is long, but the town is beautiful and she wants to come back with her grandmother.
