My village 50 years ago

 I live in Mundão.
 Fifty years ago it was the green village, there used to be a lot of houses with good and green gardens but the house owners died, so today they are not like old times. There used to be the old church, but since it was almost falling they repaired it. There was a house that nobody used and they used it to do a chaple. There didn't use to be a café in the corner but now there is one.
 People used to travel by foot, there wasn't any trail rails and the cars were expensive, only the rich had the money for one.
 Fifty years ago there was a bar were everyone could talk and meet new people, today that bar is a flower shop.
 In conclusion, life was a little boring, because you had to travel by foot, but you could play football on the green gardens and meet new people in the bar.
