Itapety Mountain

Hey up everybody! It´s nice to be here again :-)!

As I told you before, today I´m going to talk a bit about the Itapety Mountain( sorry friends, in my last blog I ate the 'n' in the word mountain. Ooops! My fault :-)).

About 65% of Mogi´s territory is located in areas of environmental protection. The Itapety Mountain is part of the Atlantic Forest and it´s home of many rare species, such as tamarins. The Itapety Mountain´s flora also surprises with dazzling and ancient trees, which depend on the season of the year are coloured with yellow, pink, purple and red flowers.

It´s wonderful to watch the mountain everyday. It stands up there, day after day, year after year, as if it´s protecting us. And I believe it is indeed. Unfortunately, some people don´t care about the nature and they are putting in risk the Itapety Mountain and its inhabitants. They want to build a landfill at a neighbourhood near the mountain, which can cause a terrible ecological disaster. Friends, I can tell you that the debates are getting hotter and hotter, and thanks God, many people are embracing the cause against the landfill.

I´m not a good photographer as our dear Adri, but I have a shot and have taken a couple of pictures of Itapety Mountain for you see how it looks like. What did you think? I hope you´ve liked. What a pitty, it was a cloudy day and believe me, it looks ten times better in the flesh :-). Ah! These pictures were taken at my health club, because it´s the highest place in my neighbourhood. The view from my home is also beautiful but the eletric cables would 'spoil' the pictures.







Anita, I´ve just loved your twist tongues :-)!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us and for your kind words to me and my sister. I´ve written the twist tongues down :-). In answer to your question, the movie was really great!!! If you have the opportunity watch it :-). Aha! So you ride a bike exercise in order to keep health and fit. That´s great. I´m trying to persuade my mum because I want to buy a bike( not a exercise bike) so I can ride to work, to go to the supermarket( which by the way would save me a lot of time). However, she keeps telling me that there´s no way, our home is to small and there´s no room for a bike. Anyway Anita, help me to persuade her :-)!

Naheed, yes the movie The Kite Runner is inspired by the book which has the same name ( by the way, someone could please answer me if could I use the word homonym in order to say that the book and film have the same name?). Have you read the book? And Naheed, the movie is really worthy to see. Moreover, the soundtracks are beautiful and the story is moving. By the way Naheed, I enjoyed very much reading your posts about the benefits of yoga. I wish one day I could enjoy the benefits of yoga practice too :-).

Satya! Welcome back :-)!!!

Adri, thank you. I´ve enjoyed very much the sites you´ve recommended us. I like very much indeed the philosophy issues, one of my favourite programmes on Brazilian TV is about philosophy. It´s called 'Café Filosófico' ( Philosophic Café). Have you ever watched it? Oh, I´m also missing Soyoung. Her blog was the first one that I´ve followed.

Leila, what a lovely post card :-)!

James, as usual your blog was very instrutive :-).

Ok, I´m off to bed now. G´night. See you tomorrow,

Ana Paula.
