Stories of Paraná - 300 blondes very cold and one hot stud
300 and icy blondes and one hot stud
Ivo Nalce
Thomas Plantagenet Bigg-Wither of that name was all English - after all no one to blame for having been born in England, and also nobody to blame for being born in Paraná - and as every Englishman was half chegadinho a cold beer.
Bigg-Wither was an engineer who came to the Parana in June 1972, hired by the Paraná and Mato Grosso Survey Expedition, whatever the hell it is, and spent three years here in Paraná, marking the Colony Thereza.
His first contact with the "Land of Araucaria" was Antonina, where he landed with other British engineers.
Were all installed and barrel in the only hotel in town owned by a Mr. Pascoal.
Bigg-Wither, in the excellent book he wrote about his experiences in Paraná, suspects that the hotel sign was placed when they arrived and when they were removed, perhaps to save the sign exposed to the merciless sun of the tropics.
Bigg-Wither repairs to the homes of Antonina, then with 1,200 inhabitants, had no chimneys and the smoke will exit through the kitchen tiles, perhaps to pollute indoors and not nature, and few windows were glazed.
During the three days we stayed at the hotel from Mr. Pascoal, took several ales Bass and Co. to combat the heat, after all that time there was no Coca-Cola.
Later, inside the Paraná, Bigg-Wither found that many bottles of ale, once consumed, were filled with domestic beer and imported and sold, just like how you do with uísqui today.
As they were leaving the hotel, Mr. Pascoal, after hours calculating, presented the note.
Bigg-Wither then saw that according to the account of the hotel they had drunk 300 bottles of beer in three days, which admit is very midst.
They had no knowledge of the Brazilian custom of adding to the date in the accounts, Bigg-Wither paid without huffing and took his journey ...
In Ponta Grossa, stood on the farm of a fellow, Mr.
Edenborough.
Beers and told Mister told him how to deal with rogues.
Edenborough, noting that the Brazilian horses were small, a huge imported English Thoroughbred, the first in Paraná, and put it in the courts and fields straight races, a national craze at the time. The English horse won all the races he participated, filling money fellow farmer.
When old, abandoned turf, helped to further enrich its owner, covering the Brazilian eguinhas for playback.
Thus, if Mr. Edenborough avenged beers fake that was required to take.
Ivo is Nalce historian.
