TRAVEL: Somewhere amongst the mountains...

...is one of my favourite places in the whole wide world. I am obviously not a big connoisseur of the corners of the world, but Cipó (Serra do Cipó - Brazil) will always have a special place in my heart.

I've known Cipó since ever. One of my oldest memories is of my cousins and I playing in the mud, riding our bikes or swimming in the river. There's my great-grandpa's house, a huge piece of land, hiking tracks, my grandpa's house, trees, waterfalls, nature, beauty and peace.

I miss it very much, and going back there doesn't change this feeling. The place's still there, nothing has changed much physically, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Not without dad, not without my brother, not without innocence and childhood.




Do any of you have a special place like this? One in which you'd spend most of your childhood and brings back a ton of happy memories when you picture it?
