Sao Paolo & Recife - Brasil!

---

OH MY GOD WE´RE HERE!!!!!!

This is nearly the last leg of the trip and one I have waited for since I was small! We are in Recife in east Brazil (look on the map) where my uncle Albert and his family have lived for nearly 15 years.

It was a nightmare journey from Miami- first there were some amusing security issues leaving the USA where Dan and I had a special search!, then we had to change in Sao Paolo making it a 17 hour journey overnight. The chaos and disorganised SP airport was horrible, but we and our bags arrived safely- something we thought wouldnt happen! so we were knackered when we arrived for lunch with the family.

We are lucky to have my aunt Dayse off this week to act as our tour guide and taking us all over the place while Priscilla and Giovani are at school and Albert is at work.

The evenings are spent all together eating, drinking and chatting- as you do!

You would never believe us - but the access to the internet and phones, as well as good quality food is vastly better in Brasil (very much a developing country) than anywhere in the USA!

This blog will be updatted with all the places we have seen and things we have eaten- but for now, just know that Dan and I are in blazing 32+ degrees of heat and humidity and loving it!

Hiya Guys, I'm pleased you've put up a picture now of the family! And Recife. It was hard to picture it all in my head when I read it all before. Recife looks so more modern than I expected. And more importantly, that is a great picture of you and the family! I can't wait to hear about your time in Brazil in more detail when we return. And see ALL the pictures. Love Charlotte xxx
