We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... punctuated by an ice cold beer... until saturday...<br><br>So this weekend was a national holiday in Brazil.. and it seems the whole city of Natal descended on Genipabu by bus.. a bit like going to Brighton for the day. This quiet place transformed during the day into a bustling hotspot.. with visitors arriving at 7am, plonking themselves on the beach and ordering their first beer.. crazy. So our guesthouse wheeled out enormous speakers and started pumping out dodgy Brazilian ...

... the beach having a cold beer and hawkers will come past selling EVERYTHING you could imagine.. hammocks, cds, rails of clothes, wooden ships, fresh fish, paintings, sunglasses.. its just insane. All the teenage boys have converted wheelbarrows with a battery inside and a car radio on the outside as they come past blasting music and selling their copied cds.. its hilarious. The next minute a man with a wheelbarrow ...

... importance. The capital and largest city is Natal. It is the land of the folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo and is second in the ...

BraSol-2010 Introduction The next adventure starts. Traveling around the northeastern of Brazil in 6 weeks we will travel 6000 km. It is the beginning of my teses resaerch project.

We caught an early flight out of Sao Paulo and headed for Natal, North East Brazil. The plan is then to bus it back down to Rio in the next few weeks, before flying to Chile. We booked the accommodation for our two day break in Natal with the flight company and was sold a hotel with a luxe room and sea view apparently!! We were expecting and looking forward to a slightly higher standard than the ...

... or they just think I´m an idiot, which is probably more likely considering none of the three methods worked. Here´s why though, I don´t think it was the methods that were flawed but my memory because I totally forgot what phone I got my card stuck in. How is this possible. It´s pretty tough to retrieve something that is in something (hah, enuendo) when you don´t even ****ing know where the main something is. I actually do find it after wandering ...

... dinner every night. I want to know why but I´m sure Cleiber has his reasons, of which I´m sure I wouldn´t understand. It must be a Brazilian thang. Although no other Brazilians I have met do this. I think this discussion, if in fact we ever have this discussion, should be done in private when we both have an ample amount of time. I totally do not want to go out as I´m completely cashed and I have been drinking for 5 straight days and I ...

... he told me to stay in the Manaira beach cos the hotels in the centre were sh*t (the only word he knew in English!)but he had no map of the city, no listings of accommodation there and just told me a number of a bus that I could take to get to the general area.

... inappropriate.` Now I think the person tsk`ing in America is basically just jealous and should be happy that someone is in love and I expect the tsk`ing is mostly done out of jealousy as I admit throwing a few out there myself but no one seems to even notice the lovers here. I don´t know if it is an inherent trait of the Brazilians or just the fact that when you add hot weather and few clothes things just naturally steam up a ...
