Am plecat cu g\u00e2ndul ca de data asta s\u0103 avem o altfel de vacan\u021b\u0103: s\u0103 mergem \u00eentr-un resort cu all inclusive, s\u0103 st\u0103m toat\u0103 ziua lungi\u021bi la soare \u0219i s\u0103 facem fa\u021b\u0103 tenta\u021biei de a vedea ce e prin \u00eemprejurimi. Zis \u0219i f\u0103cut…p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ziua a 3- a. Curiozitatea \u0219i neast\u00e2m\u0103rul au pus st\u0103p\u00e2nire pe noi, a\u0219a c\u0103 am \u00eenchiriat o ma\u0219in\u0103 \u0219i am pornit spre nic\u0103ieri.
\nPentru mine, faptul c\u0103 mergeam la nord, la sud, la st\u00e2nga sau la dreapta, era acela\u0219i lucru…de\u0219ert. Cristi \u00eens\u0103, avea el o metod\u0103 de orientare, necunoscut\u0103 mie p\u00e2n\u0103 ast\u0103zi, c\u0103ci prea ajungeam \u021bint\u0103 exact unde ne propuneam.
\nOdat\u0103 ajun\u0219i \u00een “centrul” insulei Boa Vista, mai precis \u00een Sal Rei, ce s\u0103 vezi: c\u00e2teva c\u0103su\u021be joase \u0219i viu colorate, care m-au dus imediat cu gandul la Bo Kaap- Africa de Sud, o ceat\u0103 de copii de toate v\u00e2rstele, la fel de \u00eengriji\u021bi ca \u0219i casu\u021bele lor, care se d\u0103deau la vale \u00eentr-o roab\u0103, un service auto ce a\u0219tepta ca cineva s\u0103 fac\u0103 m\u0103car o pan\u0103 (na, c\u0103 ne-a ferit Dumnezeu!), un soi de hal\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103 \u0219i \u00eentunecat\u0103 ce servea drept magazin \u00ee\u0219i poftea afar\u0103 singurul mu\u0219teriu, nici urm\u0103 de vreun animal domestic sau s\u0103lbatic, scaie\u021bi, cactu\u0219i, c\u00e2te un petic de verdea\u021b\u0103, o rotocoal\u0103 de paie care s-a oprit brusc \u00een botul unei capre picate ca din cer, \u0219oseaua impecabil\u0103 cu sensuri giratorii mereu pustii, buc\u0103\u021bi imense de st\u00e2nc\u0103 neagr\u0103 desprinse din pere\u021bii st\u00e2rvurilor de vulcani tol\u0103nindu-se la soare \u0219i o singur\u0103 zbur\u0103toare- o musc\u0103 at\u00e2t de ame\u021bit\u0103 c\u0103-\u021bi inspira mil\u0103… \u0218i at\u00e2t. <\/span>Asta a fost tot ce am putut vedea. P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd, din toat\u0103 pauza asta de form\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103, s-a l\u0103b\u0103r\u021bat \u00een zare oceanul Atlantic dantelat de valuri, iar la distan\u021b\u0103 de o clipire trona cea mai frumoas\u0103 \u0219i \u00eenalt\u0103 dun\u0103 de nisip pe care am vazut-o: pulbere de aur turnat\u0103 \u00een dungi ml\u0103dioase care te ademeneau s\u0103 \u00eei cucere\u0219ti piscul \u0219i s\u0103 te la\u0219i s\u0103 aluneci de pe ea, ca de pe derdelu\u0219, direct \u00een ap\u0103.
\n\u00cen asemea locuri e nucleul neprev\u0103zutului. De nic\u0103ieri, \u0219i-au f\u0103cut apari\u021bia: un m\u0103nunchi de palmieri, c\u00e2teva umbrelu\u021be cu \u0219ezlonguri din lemn spoit cu alb \u0219i saltele moi de culoarea cerului senin care st\u0103teau demne la picioarele unui b\u0103rule\u021b ce-\u0219i ascundea sub tejghea comorile: mango, banane, lime, ment\u0103, kiwi, ananas, lapte de cocos, ghea\u021b\u0103… Privirea mi-a trecut nep\u0103s\u0103toare pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 vitrina cu sticle degerate de bere din care s-a \u00eenfruptat imediat Cristi, continu\u00e2ndu-\u0219i traseul\u00a0 panoramic p\u00e2n\u0103 a ajuns \u00eenapoi la oceanul cu valuri turbate ce treceau prin toat\u0103 paleta de culori: de la albastrul alcoolului sanitar la verde smarald, verdele amestecat cu bejul nisipului luat de pe mal \u0219i, \u00een final, bel\u0219ugul de alb \u00eenspumat ca laptele din reclamele la ciocolat\u0103.
\nNici urm\u0103 de pesc\u0103ru\u0219i, doar o pas\u0103re cu ciocul \u00eencovoiat \u0219i caraghios de mare, bancuri de pe\u0219ti lungi c\u00e2t un deget \u0219i \u00een rest, t\u0103cere. O \u00eembucur\u0103toare \u0219i mult dorit\u0103 t\u0103cere. Am combinat fructele \u00een fel \u0219i chip, ob\u021bin\u00e2nd astfel fresh-uri \u0219i shake-uri la care poftesc \u0219i acum, am \u00eenchis ochiul con\u0219tiin\u021bei la g\u00e2ndul c\u0103 un pumn mare de creve\u021bi s-a sacrificat pentru a m\u0103 desf\u0103ta pe mine, m-am a\u0219ezat pe burta plin\u0103 \u0219i mi-am dat drumul din v\u00e2rful piramidei, dup\u0103 care m-a luat la tr\u00e2nt\u0103 oceanul, chiar de la mal, tr\u00e2ntindu-m\u0103 de c\u00e2teva ori pe fundul apei \u0219i apoi scuip\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 sc\u00e2rbit afar\u0103. A b\u0103gat frica \u00een mine, cred c\u0103 de la creve\u021bii delico\u0219i sf\u00e2r\u00e2i\u021bi pe gr\u0103tar mi se trage. M-am \u021binut departe \u00een urm\u0103toarele zile, f\u0103c\u00e2nd un baraj pe plaj\u0103 unde am construit castele din nisip \u00een voie, sub privirea plin\u0103 de ging\u0103\u0219ie a cuplurilor ajunse la v\u00e2rsta la care merg cu m\u00e2inile \u00eempreunate la spate. Noi \u0219i ei ce veniser\u0103m la all inclusive \u00een Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Am mai \u00eendurat o zi \u00een luxuriantul resort, dup\u0103 care ne-am urcat \u00een avion \u0219i-am mers s\u0103-i vizit\u0103m pe locuitorii insulei Sal. Aici nu mai era la fel de mult\u0103 lini\u0219te, fiecare \u00eencerca s\u0103 ne v\u00e2nd\u0103 c\u00e2te ceva: scoici, tablouri pictate cu fire de nisip, buc\u0103\u021bi de vulcan pe post de suvenir, magne\u021bi, e\u0219arfe, gen\u021bi, cafea… C\u00e2nd am ajuns s\u0103 sim\u021bim presiunea insisten\u021bei lor, ne-am \u00eendep\u0103rtat de “zona comercial\u0103”, ne-am cl\u0103tit ochii cu c\u0103su\u021bele lor colorate care f\u0103ceau un culoar prin care mijai oceanul, m-am oferit hran\u0103 pentru pe\u0219tii Gurra Rufa- pe\u0219tii doctor, un substitut al pedichiurii, ne-am amuzat v\u0103z\u00e2nd localnicii concur\u00e2nd \u00een tumbe \u0219i s\u0103rituri de pe ponton \u00een apa perfid\u0103, am m\u00e2ncat un pr\u00e2nz insipid g\u0103tit \u00eentr-o chicinet\u0103 improvizat\u0103, iar seara am petrecut-o pe o teras\u0103 \u00eenghesuit\u0103 \u00eentre dou\u0103 case, m\u00e2nc\u00e2nd un pe\u0219te proasp\u0103t \u0219i sorbind o Caipiroska slab\u0103. Nu ne mai venea s\u0103 plec\u0103m. Localnici br\u0103zda\u021bi de v\u00e2rst\u0103, cu voci \u00eenc\u0103rcate de melancolie, \u0219i-au etalat pasiunea pe versurile muzei lor, compatrioata Cesaria Evora. \u00cen Capul Verde, toat\u0103 lumea c\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i joac\u0103 fotbal. Muzica are influen\u021be africane, portugheze \u0219i braziliene, iar locuitorii pot s\u0103-\u021bi murmure \u0219i-n somn c\u00e2ntecele eroinei lor despre care vorbesc cu un amestec bizar de sfin\u021benie \u0219i familiaritate.<\/p>\n

M-a\u0219 \u00eentoarce oric\u00e2nd aici, la peisajul \u0103sta \u00een\u021bepenit \u00een frumos. Motto-ul lor chiar nu-i pus la \u00eent\u00e2mplare: “No stress in Cabo Verde.” E o lini\u0219te care face bine, o c\u0103ldur\u0103 care-\u021bi urc\u0103 din t\u0103lpi \u0219i p\u00e2n\u0103-n frunte, o plaj\u0103 paradisiac\u0103 \u0219i muzic\u0103 \u00a0fantastic de bun\u0103.<\/p>\n

Ce-am luat ca suvenir? O c\u0103su\u021b\u0103 tradi\u021bional\u0103, \u00een miniatur\u0103, cu baza din fragment de vulcan \u0219i acoperi\u0219 de paie pr\u0103fuite, punguli\u021be cu cafea boabe \u0219i o scoic\u0103 pictat\u0103 meticulos cu pulbere de nisip \u00een culori aprinse.<\/p>\n

Mai vreau, tare face bine locul \u0103sta, e antistres!<\/p>\n
