because on the following day I was going to take part in the race XIV Volta International da
Pampulha http://audmara.blogspot.com.br/2012/12/correndo-xiv-volta-internacional-

work such as Church of Pampulha, http://audmara.blogspot.com.br/2012/12/igrejinha-da-pampulha-uma-obra arte.html Niemeyer‘s building, http://audmara.blogspot.com.br/2012/12/edificio-niemeyer-em-belo-horizonte.html
and the Administrative City http://audmara.blogspot.com.br/2012/12/a-cidade-administrativa-de-minas-gerais.html
Como
o hotel que eu estava hospedada era próximo do Mercado, decidi que o meu dia
começaria com uma rápida visita ao Mercado fundado em 1929. As the hotel I was staying was near the Market I decided to
start my day with a quick visit to the Market which was established in 1929.
A variedade de queijos e doce de leite é surpreendente. Tudo
tão atraente que é impossível sair do Mercado sem comprar pelo menos um
queijinho e um doce de leite mineiro. Eu achei tão simpático esses queijos
pendurados que resolvi comprar um para experimentar. Delicioso!The variety of cheeses and a sweet made with milk and sugar is amazing. It all
look so tempting that it is impossible to leave the market without buying at
least one cheese and a bit of sweet. I bought one cheese that was hanging on
the wall in order to taste it. It was delicious!
Várias lojas vendiam canecas para tomar café. Entre tantas
canequinhas, vi uma com o coador de algodão igual ao que a minha avó Nadia
usava para preparar o café lá no interior da Santa Catarina. Por um instante
voltei a minha infância, lembrei-me da casa da minha avó que era muito grande,
de madeira, com janelas altas e sem pintura. Senti o cheiro do café forte que
ela fazia no fogão a lenha com chaminé que subia até o teto e que às vezes ela
pintava com alumínio. O leite, com bastante espuma, vindo da estrebaria num
balde era colocado no café que minha avó dava para eu tomar. Como que num
impulso comprei algumas canequinhas achando que talvez elas pudessem me ajudar
a resgatar da minha memória um pouco mais da infinita doçura da minha avó.
Several shops sold mugs. I saw among so many
little mugs one with a cotton coffee filter very similar to the one my
grandmother Nadia used to prepare coffee in the countryside of Santa Catarina.
For a moment I got back to my childhood and I thought of my grandmother's house
that was very big, made of wood, with high windows and no paint on the walls. In
a way I could smell the strong coffee she used to make on the stove with a
chimney rising to the ceiling. My grandmother sometimes painted it with
aluminum. The milk, with lots of foam coming from the stable in a bucket was poured
in the coffee my grandmother used to give to me. All of a sudden I bought some
little mugs pretending it would help me to recover from my memory a bit more of
the endless care of my grandmother.

Havia muitas pessoas andando pelos corredores estreitos do
mercado e era difícil fotografar. Infelizmente a minha visita ao Mercado durou
apenas 50 minutos, mas certamente poderia ter passado a manhã inteira andando
por lá. There were many people walking in the corridors
of the Market and it was hard to take photos. Unfortunately my visit to the
Market lasted only 50 minutes, but for sure I could have spent the entire
morning walking there.
