RJ 27/02/1988 Saturday – final days in Brasilia
I haven’t written about my final moments with Rodrigo, or Brasilia. Me and Gino slept together until my final Wednesday. On Thursday/Friday Gino didn’t stay at home and I only saw him during the day. On my last Friday we all went to Espaço, except Gino as we had argued. I was feeling angry at Espaço. We took over 5 tables!!! I drank a bit and cheered up. As we were leaving Rodrigo said he was going to Uberlândia on the same day as me but he’s not telling anyone and is going at night, to avoid goodbyes (He really did this, he left without saying goodbye). Some of us came back to 405. I went with Luciana, Patricia, Giu, Andrea and Marcos to the S block. When I came back, alone, I saw Rodrigo alone, at the I block. I went to arrange for him to come over later (it was a bad idea to do it then because Marcos was going to walk past any minute). I went home, waited a bit and fell asleep.
I woke up the next day, the day we were leaving at 14:30 and went out for final goodbyes. Rodrigo had left a Pink Floyd sticker on my door as he had gone to the flat but I didn’t hear the doorbell. Probably for the best. Him and Renata hosed me down with water, a pigeon shat on my head… Giu and Andrea brought a camera and we took photos. At 12:30 my father picked me up and I went with Lu, Renata, Manuela and Paula to the bus station. Alexandra, Ivone, Rodrigo, Junior and Cleiton also were there. It was so sad, but I didn’t cry. I only cried when I got to Rio and I was alone. The trip back with Gino was also sad and that’s how I departed from my beloved land.
