I am really bad with keeping up with this journal. Although I havent gotten home until midnight the past three nights and had to get up around 7 so i guess its excusable, no? Lets see...Sao Paulo itself is huge, a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. Im not really sure how to describe it because there are so many different areas. one good thing about having to cruise around in taxis is that i get to see all these neighborhoods that i wouldnt otherwise see. like all these offices are in business-y areas, not touristy areas. there isnt really one ´touristy´area from what i can tell, although there arent many tourists here now so i guess im not sure. but i havent done anything touristy like museums just because ive been soo busy! portuguese ... read more

After one month away from the beach I thought it was about time that I took Tom back to his natural habitat! So we packed up and set off for a weekend of sun and sand. We didn´t know exactly where we were going, so we decided to take the most direct route to the beach and than head south, untill we found somewhere that we liked. We drove our way down through the mountains and caught our first glimpse of the ocean 4 hours after leaving home. We drove past many little coastal towns which, although very beautiful, were a bit sleepy for our liking, due to it being the middle of winter. We drove for 3 more hours just soaking up the scenary, before stoping in Guaruja. We were very lucky because the beachs ... read more

Vilken underbar 1:a dag!! 24 grader, sol, klar himmel och frisk bergsluft! Tradgarden ar fantastisk med banantrad, mango, cashew (cajú) , orkidé. Tog det forsta doppet i Brasilien…i poolen, drack Guarana. Hushallerskan lagade traditionell brasiliansk mat idag, ris, svarta bonor, korv, torkat kott, gronsaker, pommes, svartrotter. Vi at 3 stora portioner var! Muito Bem! Man blir hungrig av den exotiska omstallningen… Bastade i Hans fina vedeldade bastu..den basta i Penedo! Torrborstning med vaxter fran tradgarden och dopp i den kalla poolen mellan varven. Helt underbart. Potatissoppa till middag, sen bar det ivag till “Pequena Suecia” ett pittoreskt och vackert hotel i vildvuxen natur som drivs av syster till Hans (Hans ar en familevan till Jennys familj). Ett band som spelade Brasiliansk folkmusik med samba och bossanova upptradde och det var harlig varm atmosfar. Provade var forsta ... read more
