Day 2, part 1: Tiradentes

This is Tiradentes, our second colonial gold town this weekend. And is was reeeally relaxing, as you can see in this foto.

Oh yeah, did I mention already that churches in Colonial Towns are rather overloaded with gold? Here you go:

This is a view of the town of tiradentes from the church. Nice, little, totally restored because the local TV "Globo" uses the town for its TV-series about the colonial time.
And this is Mr. Tiradentes, the one the town was named after. He was one of the leaders of the rebellion of the inconfidents. Something against the portuguese crown, because they claimed too much gold.
