this is joao. he is the head of the house where i lodged in atins. a jolly chainsmoking fellow of few words, joao spent his entire days inside a canary yellow room with a big window facing the only road in this miniscule village. joao spends his days creating religious portraits from pictures of text and biblical drawings which he sells in the bigger towns in the area. joao didnt really have much to do with the running of the house. his wife did alll the chores, both inside and outdoors, waking up before the sun and shutting down late in the evening after nonstop days. it seemed to me he got the better bargain :).
