Fala povo!
Hi people!

O 31th Sketchcraw-RJ foi no Jardim do Palácio do Catete. O Palácio do Catete já foi residência do Presidente da República, quando a capital do país era no Rio de Janeiro. Foi também lá que o ex-presidente Getúlio Vargas se suicidou, deixando a famosa frase "saio da vida para entrar para a história". Atrás do Palácio tem um grande jardim, muito bonito e bem cuidado, tipo jardim inglês. Nele tem uma gruta, um lago, duas pontes, um parquinho para crianças, patos, gansos, micos, bebê fofos e velhinhos. No total foram 7 pessoas.

Meus desenhos:

João, meu marido, quis me acompanhar mesmo depois de 15 horas de viagem. Ele estava bem cansado. Sorte que desenhei ele rápido, não deu nem 15 minutos apareceu um guardinha pedindo pra ele levantar porque não pode deitar nos bancos. Nanquim

João, my husband, came to accompany me even after 15 hours on a plane. He was very tired ...luckly I drawn him really fast, because an officer came and said it is prohibited to lay on the benches. Nanquim
