From #Diamantina during #FestasJuninas, when #Brasil celebrates Saints John the Baptist (June 24th), Anthony (June 13th) and Peter (June 29th).

Some people enjoy sleeping by the #ocean, rocked to sleep by the sound of #waves. I prefer by a river, lulled to sleep by a rippling #river. #Idaho #wilderness #sleepoutside #nature #peace @trailsmag.net #adventure #travel
