We are seriously enjoying our time in Brazil - we have no schedule, we are incredibly relaxed, we wake up whenever we wake up, go to sleep when we cannot keep our eyes open any longer, and just enjoy our surroundings. I can't say that we are doing anything productive or meaningful, but we are the most relaxed we have been the entire trip. It's an amazing feeling to literally not have a care in the world. I hope you all can enjoy this feeling at one time or another in your life :)

After spending eight days in Jeri we decided to head to another beach known for its red dunes and wind! We took an awful five hour bus in the middle of the night and arrived early in the morning. However, we stumbled across an amazing Pousada (hotel) with a pool, an amazing breakfast, A/C, and a comfortable bed. We crashed for a few hours and were good as new! As a treat to ourselves we had our first Brazilian rodizio (aka all you can eat meat), I think we decided that Scott ate almost a pound of steak! I am pretty sure we got our moneys worth :)
We spent the next 3 days swimming in the pool and kitesurfing at the beach with some friends we met from Argentina. It turns out that no one speaks Spanish or English in Brazil so we end up speaking some form of Span-guese, Spanish/Portuguese!- which is funny but not easy. I am constantly accidentally saying Mucho Obrigado (Mucho being Spanish and Obrigado being Portuguese), which always gets a laugh....

After Canoa Quebrada we decided to head further South to Praia de Pipa. It is yet another gorgeous beach spot. We are camping above Praia de Amor, the beach of love!, with these beautiful cliffs leading to the sea. Our first morning here we were eating breakfast when all of a sudden a monkey popped up right next to us. We fed him some bananas and before we knew it we had many monkey friends and no more bananas :) Tomorrow we are heading to swim with the dolphins and maybe do some surfing in the afternoon....
We will post more pics of Pipa when we get a chance... but for now here are a couple of my favorites.
