Hello all: Thanks for the feed back many of you sent on the pictures I took of Morros (Hills). It inspired me to send a few more words about it and pictures. Morros is a place of incredible natural beauty. The coconut trees reach to the sky, their leaves dancing with the soft blow of the gentle breeze. The blue ocean caresses the white sand or smash against the tough rocks, in a contrasting pattern. The tide brings the rolling waves to our feet, and takes them away in a repetitious cycle. I lay in the hammock, peacefully watching nature’s wonders effortlessly spreading serenity. What an incredible place.

In Maceio, I just spend time with my sister, parents, nephews, niecce, uncles. There are hundreds of them, seriously.

Welcome to my travel blog. I would like to thank everyone that has agreed to participate in this blog. My trip, as it stands now, will be from the 21st of January until the 14th of May. The first month will be spent at surf school, Carnival, and my family’s beach house. The last three months will be spent in Maceio, which is the capital of the state of Alagoas. Maceio is located on the northeast coast of Brazil (about two hours flying time from Rio), on a narrow strip of land between a lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. (Just in case you wanted to stop by for a weekend visit) The city grew around a sugar mill following the Dutch occupation during the early 17th century. The Portuguese gained control of Maceió in 1654 and ... read more
