  1. The 1st old gunnery is a beauty. So glad it got a 2nd (less explosive) “life”. Wonderful scenes, thanks so much for the diverse tour.

  3. Just before Easter, we hosted 5 Rotary International guests from PARANA here in Eagan by the Eagan Rotary Club! One of the guests, Mayra, stayed in our home for 4 days – she was wonderful! Abrigado!

  9. The gunpowder barn is very interesting shape and recycling it as a theater seems like a great idea. The museums are very unusual as well, very creative designs.

  11. So many different things to see here! I love that old theater, what a unique building. And I'm sure I'd buy something at the souvenir shop. 🙂

    PS: I know about the Iguaçu Falls, but the last time we were in Brasil we didn't have time for them. It's on my list though! :))

  12. Amazingly different architecture in the first three photos. Even the souvenir shop has its own brand of architecture. LOL
    The public promenade looks very inviting, so green and pretty.

  13. Encore une très belle série et des bâtiments à l'architecture hors du commun!
    Je préfère le “Paiol Theater! C'est vraiment une excellente idée d'avoir converti un aussi joli bâtiment en lieu de spectacle!

    ps2:o): criei esses cantinhos sob un novo pseudonyme que é Mildred! He he he! Tive vontade de mudança. Aproveito para te dizer que meu verdadeiro nome é Cremilde se o já não fiz. Cildemer é um anagrama de Cremilde e Mildred contem todas as letras excepto a letra C. Essa eu utilizei com o “O” de Oliveira (meu nome de família) para criar um nome de família para Mildred, e esse nome é Eco! O Fernando Pessoa escreveu sob 3 heterónimos diferentes e eu blogo já com dois;o)
