More guesses, anyone?

Inspired by my friend Cris's post, I decided to ask a similar question. Who can tell me what are these fruits that grow from the trunk of their trees?
The first one is edible as it is (and there's nothing like eating them picked right from the tree), and also makes good jam and liqueur.
The second one I must confess I'd never seen before, and unfortunately there were no ripe fruits to photograph. As for its use, I could use Cris's hint...

Capim dourado - Golden grass

The beautiful natural gold color and shine of this plant were unknown outside its native region of Jalapão, in the state of Tocantins, until recently.
As I was driving on Sunday to the nice country restaurant that Cris showed in her blog recently, my wife saw these articles displayed on the sidewalk, and asked me to stop there on our way back. She only had to ask once because, while she was interested in browsing, I had already spotted the nice photo opportunity...

Jangadas

These fragile-looking rafts are a common site in Northeast Brazil. If you're lucky to catch them returning from open sea, you can buy the freshest fish you'll ever find, and have it prepared right there on the beach, at a price so low you won't believe it...
This day, though, the jangadas were ashore - time for the fishermen to be with their families, at last!

Tropical flavors

At Mercado São Sebastião (St. Sebastian market) in Fortaleza you can find many kinds of tropical fruit that are common in Northeast Brazil. They don't look perfect, spotless and shiny; they look natural, and that's good!
From top to bottom, these are their names (most come from native languages): Jaca (jackfruit); Murici (nance); Pitomba (Eugenia luschnathiana, couldn't find a common name in English); Serigüela (jocote); Acerola; Cajá (yellow mombin?); Sapoti ( sapodilla); Cajá-umbu (this is possibly a hybrid between cajá and umbu); Pequi; and Graviola (soursop).

Vertical stage

The pictures are blurred, they were taken with poor light and without appropriate support. But I wanted to share with you the spectacular performance I watched last night. Project Bandaloop performed at the IBM building (where, by the way, I worked for 19 years), celebrating that company's 90th anniversary in Brazil.

The movement, the lighting, the reflections on the glass, the shadows, everything was so perfect! Maybe I'll return tonight and watch it again...
