WANDERLUST WITH P

Sistas 'n Ipa

Rio de Janeiro, January 2018

My sister Guggi is a tough cookie. She is back at work in the consulate running a strict schedule to keep up with life as a single mom of twin boys. She spends quite a bitof time cooking organic food for the boys. The freezer is full of daily portions in tupperware. And they eat a hell alot of those. My role consists in taking over the feeding at night shift  and washing them in the morning from top to bottom as the organic food comes out in masses again.

Every other weekend they spend at their father's so she has time to skate or run on the copacabana promenade, clean the house and wash tons of baby clothes. We like laying on the gay section at Ipanema beach to chill out peacefully and watch the scenery around us. 

If boys in bed we rock the house listening to german 80ties or 90ties Hop Hop music in the patio of the 17 store building. Sometimes the sound of bullet shots are mixed within as the next uphill path to one of the Favelas is not too far away.

Started to learn my fifth language, portuguese, as scared of loosing my mind. Demetia is a common secondary disease of Parkinson.
