Xique-Xique II

Hello there, how have you been? Well, today I just share with you what I've been doing this days, pretty busy, by the way. Today, for example, me and Jose a local guide we went to one of the most relevant rock art paintings, Xique-Xique II in order to clean up the insects, in particular wasps, not kill them, just collect because there is a tourism attractions and there are allergic tourists who visit there. Xique-Xique I also received the infra-structure from IPHAN (Historic, Artistic and National Institute), represented by Onesimo Santos, he is a Brazilian archaeologist and he has been done a great job in order to preserve and socialising the rock art paintings, not only here in Carnaúba dos Dantas (town) but in neighbours towns as Acari, for example, check out the pictures bellow. 

                                    I'm not an astronaut, lol, this is an accessory to protect against wasp bites.
