We travelled north from Natal to a tiny place called Genipabu, famed for is tranquil beach and huge sand dunes. To get there we took our first local bus and then hopped in a taxi which Bruce bargained for hard!!!!<br><br>We arrived to the beautiful beach with a more relaxed yet still very Brazilian vibe. We are still the only backpackers in sight.. and we were promptly serenaded by 2 wizened old Brazilian guitar men on the beach. We found a little pousada called Rapa Nui owned by a ...

... into a portable bbq comes by offering to rustle you up some prawns. Its non stop but the vibe is like no where else either of us have been. The vista is beautiful - huge expansive beach with an enormous sand dune at one end. The beach is smattered with umbrellas and loungers housing Brazilian and Portuguese holiday makers predominantly. The locals dont speak a great deal of english but we are getting by with lots of ...

... god I can relax now and not have to deal with the hassle and hustle and bustle of a big city like Rio. So I collect my bags and come through the arrivals lounge without incident and am really disappointed to find that Ed is not there waiting for me with a little sign that says 'welcome Helen'. In fact I am almost tearful, I really wanted to be greeted with a little sign to make me feel nice and warm and gooey inside. I wait 10 minutes or so, still no sign of Ed, so now ...

... a ocorrida ontem. O inspetor Rosemberg Alves, em entrevista à Inter TV Cabugi, disse que equipes fazem operações à noite especialmente para tentar localizar essa quadrilha. O inspetor Roberto Cabral recomenda que as vítimas, em casos de assalto, não reajam. "Isso põe em risco a vida de inocentes", disse, referindo-se ao caso ocorrido ontem. Os assaltos a ônibus no interior do Estado surpreendem pela seqüência com que são realizados. No dia 20 de agosto, uma quadrilha ...

This is for November 6: quick comments: Fahrenkrog, I think it was you who said you actually had a friend that drank the crazy trip juice. Personally I would love to do that but I only hate two things in life, one is throwing up and the other is carnies - circus folk - small hands - smell of cabage. BTW: everyone here drinks beer out of the smallest glasses I have ever seen. It makes no sense. Seriously these glasses maybe hold 5 ounces. I need to ...

... the girls know. He ends up inviting us on the boat for a ride. So we all climb onto the boat with beers and me and Flavia are sitting in the back next to each other but he tells her to sit up front (supposedly for weight distribution purposes, but I´m sure there were ulterior motives), and now I hate the boat guy, except I don´t because he´s giving us a free ride around the lagoon, but I kinda do hate him and then I forgot what I was ...

... that, I may have made that one up, but I bet there is a Funk song with lyrics pretty close to that. Believe me, they are hysterical and crazy and I love them. I leave the bar around 3am or so with Camilla, we go get a drink at another spot. She´s kind of cool but she definitely thinks she´s better than others (the first brazilian I´ve met like this). Nothing happens and I end up crashing around 4:30 or so and Cleiber is already passed out, what a pussy. Fin

Met Arjan en Michiel van Tibau do Sul naar Natal Het is 6 uur in de morgen als Michiel en ik opstaan en naar de kant roeien om Arjan op te pikken. We peddelen (nog altijd geen roeidol en motortje) schuin tegen de stroom in naar de wal waar Arjan al klaar staat. Het zal zijn eerste zeezeil avontuur worden, hij is de halve nacht wakker geweest door de kinderen en de pijn in z'n rug als gevolg van de val uit de hangmat. Michiel heeft de oceaan al eens overgestoken en kijkt vast anders tegen ...

... the gamut of Brazilian ethnic types I have come across during my South to North travels in Brazil. The South: 19th and 20th century immigration, especially from Germany and Italy, characterizes the look of Southern Brazilians. In fact, I traveled through towns in Southern Brazil where German or Italian is still the main language spoken today. Whatever language was spoken, this was the area where I felt I looked the most like a local and it was not uncommon for me to ...
