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 ...

... friendly dutchman but run by a Brazilian family who seemed to occupy all the rooms with all their children.. <br><br>We rapidly had to adjust to the pace of life.. sunrise was at 5am and everyone was up and about. It was scorching by 8am and the sun set at 5pm when literally everything closed..including all restaurants, except one run by a spanish guy. We explained we're on honeymoon and so the first night the lady at our guesthouse cooked us spaghetti.. the next night we cooked our ...

... 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 ...

... totally worth those few initial moments of uncomfortableness and embarrassment at being on my own. So I am ADORING Pipa, I have now been here for 3 days and have just told Ed and Laz that I will probably stay until Friday at least and have looked into getting a bus to Recife on Saturday morning. I really really love this place, it just feels so right to be here. Its like a beach village with a great sense of community and friends and has a great energy but is totally ...

... snobbery. Actually, me and Amanda started getting along much better as the week went on and I found myself enjoying our conversations more and more as I think she let go of her preconceived notions of Americans. Observation 2: Nobody in Brazil wants $50R bills, nobody. Those bills are harder to use than the Salem winch hunt trials using common sense. Sometimes, a $20R bill is worth more than a $50R bill, so in some cases more is truly less ...

... guess you could open up a store yourself, you don´t need me, plus you already have a devoted customer. Damn, I should keep these ideas to myself. If I get back to the states and flippin Mike Dietzler has an acai shop, I won´t be happy. But I will sort of be happy, because that means I can eat acai whenever I want. I have to get up early to go to Pipa tomorrow so I don´t do much at night. Thought concerning Brazil. Everything here is broken, well ...

... we were told that we could get in the water if we wanted to. Rachel was first in but in her excitement drank most of the Atlantic. We stayed in the water for about 20 minutes, watching the dolphins getting closer, but never close enough. We headed back to Natal on the evening bus and were treated to local music and dancing with our dinner (think hill-billy funk). We have an early start tomorrow with a bus ride to PiriPiri (17 hours ).

... zijn de hele dag dicht geweest en het is bijna 30 graden. Maar het is al laat en na een half uurtje is ze onder zeil (zie foto). De volgende dag krijgen we bezoek uit Natal: de Terra's komen ons opzoeken! Het is hartstikke tof om ze na een jaar weer te zien. Katelijn, de jongste van ruim anderhalf, is flink gegroeid en Rens van 3 is erg enthousiast over het avontuur. Hij heeft thuis al weken lang tegen iedereen verteld:" Ik ga op vakantie naar Jeroen en Sylvia naar de boot!!!" Echt ...

... Brazil, as the firearm mortality capital of the world, with more than 36,00 killed by guns last year alone (a number which is steadily rising) may have proverbally shot itself in the foot by voting to keep guns around. Brazil has a higher homicide rate than some African countries mired in civil war at the moment. The gun lobby - armed with a powerful television campaign aimed squarely at the poor - claimed that more guns will mean more protection and more safety. They also ...
