We know we already claimed we found Paradise two blogs ago, and we hate to sound like brats, but we are pretty sure this time, we found Paradise. For real.
The final leg of our Brazil trip was spent on the famed Costa Verde, the coastline between Rio de Janeiro and the Sao Paulo state. The Costa Verde can be described as hundreds of miles of tropical coastline and islands with one perfect beach after another.
After a 2 hour drive south from Rio down the Costa Verde and a 1.5 hour boat ride, we arrived at the lush

March 22nd 2008 - Carlos and Gwenn: Paraty and Ilha Grande, yes!
Hi John and Sara - it's Saturday, just finished breakfast with Elizabeth and Charlie, they could not wait to tell us about your latest entry, as they knew of our love for the area you described: our Oregon license plate is... PARATY! In the 3 years we lived in Brazil - São Vicente, about 200 miles south of Paraty, we travelled to that little village of Paraty often and to Ilha Grande once - your descriptions of those places is so wonderful - even that blue and white sweets cart... over our many visits we saw the red haired boy who takes care of the cart, grow and grow but always with his very shy smile! The concrete jungle of São Paulo, also scared us in the beginning but as we had to drive to it once a week, we ultimately learned what to avoid. Your pictures of Mercado Municipal gave us "saudades".... São Paulo boasts the greatest number of Italian and Japanese restaurants of any city in the world outside of those countries. Huge populations in Italian and Japanese parts of town make that a fascinating place to visit.
Travel safe and thanks for the blog!
