As there is not enough of Brazil in my blog, need to tell you a bit more on Curitiba with new found pictures. Therefore, this will be new text and old pictures to show you this is Curitiba !!! Hope you enjoy as I.

I am totally surprise not told you more of my stayed for 3 months in the Mercure Hotel Batel, Rua Alferes Angelo Sampaio, 1177, Curitiba, in Paranà State, Brazil. I believe had mentioned in other posts on the city but not enough me think.  So many memories here,and so grandly treated by staff, from front desk , rooms and valet parking! I even left my wallet in the car and was return same day by the valet parking staff. I gave them a big tip at the end , and they were moved, I was too!  The hotel is located in the most upscale area of the city, where modern shopping centers, bars and restaurants are 17.6 km from the airport. The Mercure Curitiba Batel hotel is 5 minutes from the city center and features modern apartments with free Wi-Fi, international cuisine restaurant, fitness area, swimming pool and differentiated service, which make the experience more pleasant. It is in the neighborhood of Batel (the best) and very close to nice shopping/eating places such as Crystal Shopping Center (centre commercial) – 7 min on foot, Praça do Japao or Japan square 8 min on foot , Center commercial Novo Batel – 9 min on foot , Center commercial de Curitiba – 9 min on foot ,Centre commercial Patio Batel – 12 min on foot, and praça da Espanha (Spain square) 13 min on foot and Rua 24 Horas – 14 min on foot, Great location indeed.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
