as
you return from a day's trip
Parati welcomes you back...
the
town looks
as if it were painted against the mountains...
The buildings are marked by simple lines, earthy colours and textures.
It
is a well-preserved colonial relic,
architecturally unique.
The
streets are paved with irregular cobblestone
(pes-de-moleque = street urchins'feet)
washed clean by the rains and high tides.
