more waterfalls


I've now updated my site with pictures from Emerson's camera and soon plan to include pictures from Bernardo's as well. It was truly a beautiful place and the pictures will help give you an idea of what small-town Brazil is like. Carrancas is the home to about 7 thousand, but I doubt it. It's that small. It's common folk legend that the first "explorers" that set eyes on the area of what later became Carrancas saw two rocks that looked like ugly faces staring at one another and thus the name: Carrancas. That's the name for the carved images carried on the front of fishing boats to scare away evil spirits. Or something like that. Enough history. Check out the pictures.
