OK, so who wrote the song? You get a beautiful day for your prize if you get it right!
The best weather of the trip to the island so far today, but the worst snorkelling. While it was absolutely lovely above the surface, below a storm was billowing sand and weed around making it difficult to see and even difficult to swim. I went to the mythical eastern shore to two new devastatingly handsome beaches.
Other than that, I went back to my favorite beaches where I had not yet snorkelled in the sunshine only to find an undersea storm taking away the views. Thereīs always tomorrow.
Hanging out on beaches all day watching the waves crash, people watching, as the wealthy Paulistas serenade in their skimpy bathing costumes (everyone: from grandad to grand child, from skinny ninnies to gigantic mamas and papas). Sixty percent of the Brazilian visitors come from Sao Paulo because thatīs where the money is in the country, according to Adrianne.
So not much to report.
Let pictures speak for me on this day.
See you on the flypaper.

Baia do Sueste
This is where the sea turtles nest. Iīll be going back for better visibility - couldnīt see a thing in the water!
Praia Do Leao
This is ranked 3 in all of Brazil. (Sanchos is ranked 1 - I put up pictures of that the other day)
Part of the hill up from the beach
When the island was a prison colony prisoners picked up their punishments here! Steep bugger, Iīll tell you that!

Gilbert O'Sullivan. Sadly, I didn't even have to look it up. (Talkin' bout my g-g-generation....sorry, I couldn't resist!)
Pretty photos - sounds like a good day to relax. Oh wait...you're on vacation, that's all you're doing now!
Well, thanks for the beautiful day prize. I'll use it wisely :)
xo,

Hey! You stole my thing: making a song out of every word or sentence that comes along :-)) But thanks.... now Iīll have that song in my head for the rest of the day.... Good to hear you had a wonderful day too yesterday. Today here in Natal itīs a bit cloudy and raining drizzly (is that a word?) Will go to downtown Natal then to see the fort and some of the shops. A good a day as any to do that, donīt you think? Tomorrow buggy ride along the dunes! Yeah!!! Have fun Mike. Iīll read more when I have the time. Found any new friends yet?
Ciao!
