Woke up to fabulous views of the beach no more than a few meters away. We seem to be staying in the deluxe apartments, (3 bedroom/bathroom, so we each have en-suite), even though we booked the cheaper ones. They have outside hammocks, huge beanbags, lots of comfy chairs and are finished off inside to v high spec. "Result o'clock" as Mr Verdier would say.<br> <br>And it gets better when we discover that we can kitesurf straight from ...

... thru my mind was:<br>1. Is he drunk?<br>2. is he falling asleep?<br>3. Never mind about the plane crashing, its whether you can survive the drive at the other end!! <br><br>After a panicky whispered conversation with Alex, it turns out the steering had gone to he was struggling to drive in a straight line (great!!). I decided to close my eyes and hope that we got there soon.<br><br>As we drove into ...

Me and Lisseth went to Beach Park today! Its a water park outside of fortaleza, like those in the United States, it was great!! We had alot of fun. It was her first time in a park like this. This is the only one in South America of this size. Wave pools, water rides, the works!! Brazil is very impressive, very developed, great infrastructure and alternatives to travel to other cities, which is important to me.<br><br>Check out the picks!<br><br><br><br>

OK everybody! Im gettin close! Closer to paradise!<br><br>The northeast of Brazil is distincly different than the south (Rio, Sao Paolo). Beautiful beaches, fresher air, less people, less hustlers and peace and quiet. The city leaves alot to be desired though, its really not developed but who cares!! Just drink coconut water and chill on the beach with my peruvian chica all day ...

... of. the guy grows everything; corn, beans, fruits, veggies, you name it. and on top of that, a very postive energy and always happy. lastnight he invited us to his house for dinner, and everything we ate lastnight was from his yard. and it was a full dinner too, big plate, dessert, and even tea. his whole family was there, and they were so happy to cook us food, and make us laugh. i really felt at home there, and it felt so incredible to eat this food which this ...

... on the flights and we also got to watch a couple of movies on the way from Dallas to Sao Paulo. If you haven't seen it already, The Hangover and The Proposal are both cute movies. We got a meal on the flight last night which was pretty good! Pasta with Chicken that Terri and I picked off, a salad, a roll and a nice little oatmeal chewy dessert! Go American Airlines!<br><br>I've noticed that my Portugues is better than ever before. I guess because ...

... ceiling to hunt down any mosquitos in the room (the little buggers!) and fell asleep quite quickly. <br><br>Tomorrow we have a very early flight to the eastern town of Salvador, leaving Fortaleza at 6am. Ouch. So up at 4:30am then! WORLD of pain.... :(<br><br><br>Lots of love, <br><br><br>Al &amp; Katie xx

... and I start kinda throwing my shoulders and elbows into them. Cleiber is talking to them in Portuguese saying I´m with him and to leave me alone. Finally after about 30 seconds or so, I get away and we start walking down the street. It was nuts, I can´t even describe it fully in words. You have to remember though that Americans are rare in Fortaleza (granted I just met one, but that will be the last American I see for over 2 weeks) and ...

O lugar onde estamos não é lá aquelas coisas. Mas tem muita gente reclamando das condições. Não temos camas, mas os colchões são bons e estão no chão. Para mim está ótimo. Como eu já fui militar de infantaria, isso para mim é uma festa. Mas para outras pessoas é uma dificuldade enorme. Temos problema com o banheiro que as vezes fica intupido. Nunca dá para saber a hora de ir em qual banheiro. Mas precisamos ter paciência. Hoje vi ...
