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

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.
