rained out!

---

We have spent the past 3 days in a small beach town close to Buzios called Arraial do Cabo in the south of Brazil. but north of Rio de Janiero. Looking around, the place seems like it could be a real paradise. There are several large beaches, nice archetecture. The problem is, the rain. Its been pissing here nonstop! So we took advantage of the bleak, desparate ambience yesterday and visited a cemetary. This place puts a north american one to shame! It was eerie as hell, but also quite peaceful. A paradox! The graves were made out of porceline type boxes about ground, and crosses and plastic flowers were a plenty. As I walked I ran into a cat that must have lived there. A lovely scene watching him wander amid the graves carefully and almost consideratly. I took some photos, and will post them as soon as I can find a fast internet connection!
