Paraná province is the only province of south of southeast of Brasil which keep its originary name - the other ones are "São Paulo", "Santa Catarina", "espírito Santo" "rio de janeiro", "rio grande do sul" or "minas gerais". Paraná means familiar to the sea.
And we all have a very special relationship with the sea. It's a new years eve tradition to cross the state to the beach to make offers for Iemanjá.
Besides, Curitiba, the capital State town, is the only one that keeps its originary name. It means land of araucaria pine trees. It's on a plateau a thousand meters over sea level, just above Capricorn tropic line. It's winter here right now. We are hoping for better days with the election of Lula.
