Childhood adventures - Alexandre Castelo      

                                      

                   I got my first bike at 5 years. My dream was going to cycle to Mosqueiro, because i saw some cyclists going group there. But I was very little. Until one day, I joined a group of cyclists, on a Sunday morning, I went to Mosqueiro of bike for the first time. It was really cool!

                  I returned in the late afternoon (I had left at 4:00 am). My mother was desperate, but it went well. 

                  Conclusion, I was grounded for having arrived too late. hehe

                  But it was worth it!

  And today, I keep pedaling around ...

My childhood

 My childhood was pretty cool, playing in the street was St. John's little party in the backyard, playing elastic, dodgeball and every Sunday we were going to Igarape close to home. 'm really missing that time does not return.

But the best memory I have of my childhood was the last time I went to vacation in Bragança in 1993, it was magical.

THE HOLIDAY FUN AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE. (ELANE ALMEIDA)

When I was a child I always went to the house of my maternal grandmother, who is in Capanema-Pa. Whenever I would like to venture in streams with children who lived it, one day we were walking and playing in the vines in the woods, we walked so much that we got lost and arrived about 6 o'clock in the afternoon at home.

 It was nerve-racking for we could find the way back and when I can find and finally get home, my grandmother to give me a spanking I'll never let her worried.

Zoo (Rodrigo Marinho)

    In 2002, when I was younger. I and my family went to Rio de Janeiro. And there happened many cool things in my life. One of them, it was went to zoo. Where there were many animals, for example, lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and everything. And one interesting thing there it was proximity that we could have with animals. Of course, the most dangerous animals we couldn't stay near them.
   At zoo was very large I spent to walking it about three hours. But what I thought more interesting at the zoo it was to see how does giraffes was fed.
  As you can see, this history is interesting for me, because it was first time that I went to zoo!
 
I hope you enjoyed the history!
