recife: a messy stroll through graffiti soaked streets

i wander into the alley behind the old bakery, where the paint smells like fresh coffee...
*graffiti tags cling to the cobblestones, and the beat of distant drums mixes with the salty air

white house beside tower under cloudy sky during daytime
green lonely tree under blue and yellow sky
brown leafless tree on brown field during daytime

i just checked and it's kinda sticky, like honey on a hot window, there right now, hope you like that kind of thing.
if you get bored, the next beat drops just a short ride away.
someone told me that the biggest mural was painted by a kid who still lives two blocks away.
